I love those torque converters. Back when I was a kid (way too long ago), go-karts and minibikes just had a single speed and centrigugal clutch. Over on the Cars and Camers UA-cam channel, they put a Chinese diesel engine on a go-kart and were surprised by how well it worked.
It's a .4mm or .0157 inch slop that needs accounted for that's a 25mm shaft version not the 1inch (25.4mm) most likely has the metric keyway as well which should be adjusted for a snug slip fit using a shim otherwise crankshaft and or cvt driver damage can occur also another 2ways to mount the 40series to the 186f/186fe diesel engines is to the front or to the bottom clock positions
What if you put the 20 tooth in behind another 20 tooth leave the 50 to 70 tooth rear and run a higher torque clutch that engages sooner so you can use more of the rpms, I'm cheaply redoing the jackshaft to a new pair of mb200 im ordering, i have sprockets and clutches ready to order at the end of next month, im trying to help get her ready for a longer camping trip we're taking them on, I'm not a fan of torque converters, an am looking to get good use out of a jackshaft setup. I would really like comments and opinions plz.
Only bad thing about the centrifugal clutch is your gearing is set either lots of torque or speed, too much speed burns clutches out. I have a mb200 I would like to convert to a torque converter setup

They work great for keeping a setup cheap and simple, but once you upgrade to a cvt you won’t go back!
Hey Mike. You are sounding much better, I can follow what you are doing. Keep it up bro. Looking to see you getting 10k subs and beyond.
@@pounch21 much appreciated man I’m going to keep pushing to see how far we can take it!
Dude you're getting good at editing
"the hell was that? was that a big fly?" lmao
Indeed it was!
Mini motorcycle
Yeee
Can you flip it 180 degrees and have more clearance?
Yes it will work like that aswell
But the shaft on mine came odd sized did you grind yours down?
@@Smannoner no, this shaft is a mm smaller than 1 inch. I didn’t show in the video but I used a soda can to make a shim and that made it fit perfect
@@Mikebuildss I think that's exactly what they did on the Cars and Cameras channel with their Chinese diesel engine.

Can we have the link to the converter?
@@brodydodge5936 check description I added the link!
