Builders, please verify alignment of the drive pulley with driven pulley on the engine side. You might need to add more spacing on the drive/crankshaft before putting the pulley on. You don't want the belt to be cocked, it should be perfectly straight on the engine side.
I just put a T.C. On my son's kart.. Having some issues with it. Feels like it's slipping going up hills , the governor is still hooked up not sure if that's the issue , the kart is slow , pick up is good but no top end like 10mph tops. I'm gonna try a smaller sprocket 72 too a 62 tooth. Running a 7 inch OD tire so the sprocket and tire are basically the same size.
@@Wmacrum go on amazon and look up torque converter for predator 212 the first one is it. Like the one from go power sports you will most likely need to raise the engine. You can find engine raisers on gopower sports for 20 bucks. My mini bike goes 48mph with out bypassing govnor on engine so if you have bypassed govnor it will go probably 10 to 15 miles per hour quicker.
Got a problem. In my country I can't get a predator engine but similar. The problem is the jackshaft dismeter is either 18mm or 20 mm. Do you think the cvt kit will fit in one of them
I don't think I got the right bolts with my torque converter. The shaft bolt and the bracket plate bolts. threads just don't screw in how they should and they look different. more spread apart. is that normal or do I need new bolts. if I do what thread are they?
I got mine from go power sports and it doesn't look like yours. Mine has a black spring, black cover, unpainted mounting plate, different looking belt. Even the numbers on the belt are different. Do you have any idea why that is??
@@Robinson-Homestead no problem sir, and 1 more question, I want my predetor to go like 50 to 60 mph, what can I do that will avoid a torqe convertor? And keep the govoner? I'm gonna get the stage 1 upgrade kit, but ik that wont get me to 50 mph, so any advice for specific items, I dont want a torqe convertor bc I'd have to lift the engine and move it forward and prolly modify the frame, so any parts from advice?
Thank you for the video! I just bought myself a Torque Converter, the same one you installed and it’ll be arriving tomorrow! I plan on putting in on my Predator 212. How is the torque converter working out for you?? It’s been a few since you posted this video, so I’m hoping you have some feedback? Or any tips/advice?
Hi I have a modified racing predator 212cc. with governor and oil sensor delete and had the torque converter on and my jack shaft screw is wrong thread what is the jack shaft screw size? Metric? It's a mini bike.
Any idea why my belt doesn't spin? Installed correctly but belt will not rotate with torque converter that is properly spinning, belt has no grip. I don't get it. Thanks for any advice!
I have a similar converter, does your cover block the chain? Mine does and i have no idea why. I'm about to just cut a notch out so the chain has a place to sit.
Kevin Robinson, your welcome and btw meant that as a compliment. I was thinking of putting a torque converter on a go kart soon to be on my channel instead of the traditional centrifugal clutch. Helpful video keep up the good work!
Your part connected to the crank is hanging out quite far. Mine did the same and if I don't, it makes the belt unaligned. Have you had any issues with it hanging out so far? Thanks!
Our go kart has the same motor. I cannot find a video explaining why it could be hesitant to take off. I've looked over the converter everything is tight. The chains lined up well both bearings inside look good checked those. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Should I remove my govoner? I have the same engine. But idk if it's worth it to remove the govoner, i want it to go fast but idk if this torque converter will damage my motor or anything, iv been told they are the wrong size bolts
If you do get a billet flywheel or be careful about over revving, the OEM flywheel is basically a hand grenade after a few trips north of 3500rpm.. If you want more revs, after flywheel upgrade you'll need heavier valve springs or the valves will float. Don't go nuts on pressure or you could wipe the stock cam. 8 od 10 pound springs will work.
The black insert thing you are holding at 813, I did not get one with my kit. do you know what it is called and where can i get one without buying a whole kit
Im trying to get one on my 212 cc predator but some one told me this is it true ?"Your motor will just blow cause your basically adding more torque in a small engine"
