Torque Converter Belt Alignment
The movable face angle of all comet asymmetric system drivers and drivens is 18 their stationary opposing face is 2 1 2 and the comet asymmetric belt angles likewise correspond.
Torque converter belt alignment. In the first one the belt is where it looks to want to ride or was riding before. I machined a half inch spacer and placed it on the drive shaft between the motor and clutch and this seems to align the pully but now the torque converter clutch bolt is to short. Drive belt installed wrong 30 series only flat side of belt should be towards the engine wrong drive belt installed a belt that is too short will cause the machine to creep at idle malfunctioning driver pulley on crankshaft malfunctioning driven pulley on jackshaft. The movable face angle of all comet asymmetric system drivers and drivens is 18 degrees their stationary opposing face is 2 1 2 degrees and the comet asymmetric belt angles likewise correspond.
I also might need to raise the driven unit up even with the torque converter. If that s the case it s not uncommon to burn belts within a matter of hours. Remove the bolt and outer moveable sheave. This reduces the belt s lifespan and your torque converter.
The movable face angle of all comet asymmetric system drivers and drivens is 18 degrees their stationary opposing face is 2 1 2 degrees and the comet asymmetric belt angles likewise correspond. The clutch and the driven pully are out of alignment. The flat side of the belt is always facing towards the engine the angled side faces out. If you ve taken the time to ensure proper belt sizing and the torque converter is in proper condition a go kart drive belt can last for many years.
Kart moves while engine is idling torque converter. Im posting 2 pictures of the pulley not on the engine but the shaft that lades to the chain that drives the axle. I have not made any adjustments to anything other than taking off the torque converter and the other pulley to get the belt off when i had them cleaned. When this happens your belt will turn hot.
30 series belt installation when installing this belt never pry the belt onto the torque converter drive clutch and or driven unit. Is there suppose to be a spacer between the engine and clutch. I m either going to need a new belt or redrill the engine mounts towards the back if possible. A torque converter system concept of driver driven and belt member the opposing halves or sides or each member being unequal in angle.
Loosening up your go kart torque converter belt might be necessary if you experience kart movement when the engine is running at idle. Most of the time a belt that is too tight can be attributed to a motor that is out of alignment. This is causing the belt to slowly deteriorate.
