I've got the same problem over here too. The shaft length (6.0 hp Tec) is significantly shorter than the drive hub for the TAV. I can just bolt it up, an it would probably work, but a short extension on the end of the c/shaft to fill the void would sure be nice.
Plus, I saw just such an item the other day, but on a small 5/8" shaft.... actually a small keyed extension that was held in place by the end bolt on the crankshaft.
If it would have been a 3/4" shaft, I would have bought the whole motor just to get the extension.

I made a shaft extension for my tavII on a hs40. I wasnt comfortable having the driven slightly engaged on the crank. I used an old shaft that was already keyed, I cut it to length and used a hardened set screw to attach it to the crank. then ran the end bolt into the head of the set screw. its a solid set up that gives full engagement of the crank to the pulley.
Mine had a washer like spacer on the crank, The H70 had one too. There's no need for an extension, unless it makes you feel better. With an extension, you're only adding length, not strength, other than the bolt. I've worked on a few karts with OHH60 and Tecumseh Enduros, and they've had varying lengths and no extensions.
Zip, I got them from Max tourque and they sell clutches with long keys so you can use them on engines with stubby shafts (like edgers) He just asks what length your shaft and thread is and sends them to you.
For the tav I had to drill the hole larger for the bigger bolt but that was easy on the drill press. (one minute) They work great. :thumbsup:

I have a tav-30 that I was going to put on my bonanza when I get time to finish it. thanks to 8ball and the pictures of his super nice bonanza. (wish I owned). seem to me that cool spacer will do nothing unless it buts up aginst the crank shaft 100%. and if ground to fit, best be sure the grind is square. anybody agree. more imput on this idea would help alot of minibikers out there. Is that spacer made as grind to fit?
