212CC GO KART TORQUE CONVERTER KIT
This is a quality after market reproduction of the Comet made TAV2 Torque converter kit. Designed to be used on go-karts, mini-bikes and wake wrenches with engine sizes 2hp to 8hp.
This is a must on live axle go-karts especially those with rear tires larger than 16" tall. A centrifugal clutch will not pull or hold up to these demands.
For your convenience this kit comes with both sprockets, a 12 tooth sprocket for #35 chain and the 10 tooth sprocket for #41/40/420 chain.
Fully Compatible with Comet and TAV2 torque converters, widely used in lawn equipment, small tractors, karts, miniature bicycles, miniature choppers, all-terrain cars, motorcycles,water skies,CVT gearboxes for karts, small vehicles, small, golf karts, odyssey, snowmobiles, ATVs, industrial, winches and etc. system.
Important parts have been assembled!

IMPORTANT
- Center to Center spacing for the driver and driven pulley needs to be between 6 5/8 inch and 6 11/16 inch.
- 2 1/2° angle (flat side) of belt must be against the 2 1/2° angle pulley flange(Next to engine).
NOTE
- The belt should be straight in the sheaves when torque converter(Driver-driven & Belt) mounted on parallel shafts-and the system in the low(Neutral or idle) position. When straight in the sheaves, the belt should also be square to the engine crankshaft and jackshaft
Off-road karts work best with two wheel drive. In sand or loose dirt, where a single wheel would often spin out, a live axle has both wheels turning at the same time, giving you twice the traction. Having a torque converter is ideal for climbing hills and inclines.
Torque Converters - Advantages
Compared to a centrifugal clutch, torque converters offer better acceleration from a stand still. They also allow karts to be geared for a higher top speed.
A torque converter is a simple automatic transmission that has a low and high gear. They are commonly found on go karts, ATV's, mini-bikes, and snowmobiles. The low gear is ideal for when you're going up hills or driving slowly, and the high gear lets you achieve top speed. They are also a good choice for stop and go riding.
How to install a torque converter?
- Step 1: Componets in kit are layed out in front of machine.
- Step 2: Remove old clutch kits
- Step 3: Bolt bracket to the four standard tapped holes in the engine crankcase using four M8*25 screws. Bracket may be rotated up or dow if necessary.
- Step 4: Break chain at proper length to go around sprocket on T.A.V. and final drive sprocket. Join chain by the master link. Move the engine forward or backward for correct tension.
- Step 5: Place the spacer (provided with kit) on the crankshaft, to bring the driver clutch in line with the driven unit.
- Step 6: Separate driver, place flat sided sheave on crankshaft. Slip belt over driven unit and over post of driver unit. Install 4 splined hub "D" outboard. (IMPORTANT: Be sure bronze idler bushing is in place on TAV 30-75. TAV 30-100 does not require bronze idler bushing.)
- Step 7: Place other half of drive on crankshaft. Line up outer cover on the "D" part of the hub, and install retaining bolt and washer.

In order for this tc to fit on the predator 301 motor you have to do som modding. I had to cut down the back oils cover and put some jb weld on it and it fit on good. I’ve already did a few trail rides and this tc went up every steep hill with no problems. I’d buy it again. Side note: don’t use the cheap belt it comes with. To small and looks poorly made. Order yourself some comet belts.youll thank me later😎ðŸâš’

Well I really liked that it's all together one package as long as you get this product to line up it's not too hard to assemble although belt broke and it is hard to know what size to get so I ordered the wrong ones that should be something you should make more obvious to the customers would be helpful

missing jackshaft nut and bolts were wrong thread, first won’t fit my honda gx340 but it bolted right up to a predator 212cc just have to get a 3/4 driver pulley and that missing nut, other than that it’s a good product

I installed this on my lawn mower and the driver doesn't even engage to the belt, and it didn't come with a jackshaft nut for the driven pulley.

It is a 1" shaft so it will fit a predator 301. But.... The drain plug hits the plate so I had to plug the oil filler below the valve cover with a 20mm coarse thread bolt and cut off a 1/4 inch of the crank case filler. Then the bolt that holds the clutch pulley on is too small you need a 7/16 fine thread (I had to drill and re-tap mine deeper). The bushing that the bolt goes through to hold the clutch will not work with the larger 7/16 so it has to be drilled out. Then the bushing is too deep so I had to grind an 1/8 off the back so it would seat against the clutch pulley (you could use a 1" washer). The backing plate for the clutch pulley will not slide far enough down the crank shaft to line up with the driven pulley so I had to grind the inner part where the key is built into the interior to. allow it to slide farther down the crank shaft. Once this was done the spacers will not fit. Washers easily fix this. The clutch springs are to stiff and did not engage. I changed them to (blue) comet springs I had. The driven pulley spring was very weak as well I changed it to a (yellow) comet spring as well. It was still not quite right so I changed the cheap belt and bam, its right on par with a comet. I had the springsand belt so the bolts only cost me about $15. If you had to buy the springs that's another $40. New belt $10. If you have the tools and time it's a cheaper option, but it took me about 4 hours start to finish in a fairly well equipped garage shop.

Product arrived undamaged and with instructions. Straight forward installation and overall took about 15 minutes after slight engine modifications (cutting the top of the oil plug). I tried to initially attach this torque converter to a Honda GX270, but the space between the cooling fins and oil plug was insufficient, even after I cut the top of the oil plug. However, I was able to install it onto a Briggs and Stratton 1150. I needed to cut the top of the oil plug, but was able to mount it to the back (carburetor end as opposed to the fuel tank end) of the motor. It has held up to the 11.50 ft./-Pounds of torque on a two-seater go cart with 18 in rear wheels for 2 days. I will add a comment if it fails.
