30 Series Clutch Kit

This is our economical version of the Comet TAV2 30 Series torque converter.

This 30 Series clutch kit is an aftermarket reproduction of the Comet made TAV2 Torque Converter Kit. Designed to be used on go-karts and mini-bikes with engine sizes 3hp to 8hp. This is a must on live axle go-karts especially those with rear tires larger than 14″ tall. A centrifugal clutch will not pull or hold up to these demands.  For your convenience this kit comes with both sprockets, a #35 chain 12 tooth sprocket and the #41/40/420 chain with the #10 tooth sprocket. (This is not made by Comet)

This kit is an asymmetrical type torque converter system, which means the sheave faces are non-symmetrical. They have different angles. In this case, the movable sheave face is 18° while the stationary sheave face is 2 1/2° for a collective angle of 20 1/2°. Here are some reasons for selecting the asymmetrical concept: The Asymmetric concept operates on an in-line principal with the torque sensing cam in an outboard attitude. Only this system is designed to operate this way, thus providing the proper alignment for the final drive chain to be on the same side of the vehicle as the P.T.O. This offers some very significant advantages to mounting requirements in many cases. The asymmetric concept, having the 18° angle on one side requires less sheave face travel to lift the belt to larger, comparable pitch diameters of the symmetrical system. This makes it possible to force the belt to a diameter within the drive clutch (at high RPM) that exceeds the usual 1:1 ratio of standard systems. The TAV can actually attain an .90:1 or 10% overdrive.

Please ensure the jackshaft nut is torqued down before use. Do not overtighten or you will damage the bearing.
