Torque Converter Belt Alignment
In the first one the belt is where it looks to want to ride or was riding before.
Torque converter belt alignment. Most of the time a belt that is too tight can be attributed to a motor that is out of alignment. Loosening up your go kart torque converter belt might be necessary if you experience kart movement when the engine is running at idle. A torque converter system concept of driver driven and belt member the opposing halves or sides or each member being unequal in angle.
Im posting 2 pictures of the pulley not on the engine but the shaft that lades to the chain that drives the axle. Kart moves while engine is idling 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.
If not fixed a belt that is too tight may lead to a rapid belt wear and may even damage the torque converter itself. 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. A torque converter system concept of driver driven and belt member the opposing halves or sides of each member being unequal in angle.
When this happens your belt will turn hot. 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. 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.
If that s the case it s not uncommon to burn belts within a matter of hours. 30 series belt installation when installing this belt never pry the belt onto the torque converter drive clutch and or driven unit. The clutch and the driven pully are out of 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. 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. Is there suppose to be a spacer between the engine and clutch.
