has anyone done a torque converter install specifically on a robin/suburu mini bike engine?

just curious if anyone has done a torque converter on this engine? mine is 4hp sitting on a Manco Thunderbird.

It should be the same as installing one on any other engine. Do you have a specific question?

I've never done it so i'm just looking for info. Seems like you just remove the clutch and install it over that. I suppose I can follow the predator 212 video.

Piece of cake, really. You might have a challenge shortening the chain. If you don't already have one, I suggest you purchase a chain breaker.
It pays for itself just by relieving the stress and cussing when trying to fit a chain.

Lol, don't you have to do something with the throttle? I thought I read something about that somewhere?
