    I'm running a 420cc predator engine with 40 series torque converter made in usa my question for the sprockets but first I'll give you my tire sizes on my 2 seater custom home built frame. Rear tires are kings tire claws 22x11-10 and my front tires are cheng skin tires 20x8-8. This is for trails but as well as yards not super steep power line hills. Now my question is would I be better off with the 10 tooth sprocket on the jackshaft and a 60 on my 1" bore live axle which would be low 40 mph or a 17 on jackshaft with the 60 on axle that gives me high 60 mph I'm looking for some speed but yet have torque to drive with 2 people or adult and child on trails and farm land. But when I ride alone I'd like some speed. Thanks from Kevin.

Maybe you could measure it? Maybe thickness of metal in the sheaves and frame?

    Hi Ben , I’ve been selling torque converters for 25 years . I would bet I have more experience then most in torque conv , 20 series , 30 series and 40 series . The video is pretty self explanatory . . There’s actually2 parts , so if you haven’t seen the 2nd part please watch it . . You need to put the two clutches next to each other and you can see the difference between the materials and you can see the difference in the ramp of the sheave of where the belt rides . It rides higher on the comet and holds better with less slippage . Hopefully I explained better then google lol . Maybe if your close to my store I can physically show you the difference or you can go out and see for your self . Thanks for watching

The center bushing heats up and expands getting stuck inside the sleeve. It also trashes a belt from slipping and heating the belt after a day of riding. It's a serious headache. Now that being said if you run a stock engine, stock mini bike, buy the clone. I will be trying a tav30 comet next and I have a tav40 comet on my modded tillotson.

    The Chinese torque converter is better its cheaper and that means you can use the savings to buy a Juggernaut that would put the total cost at $174 and it would not only be cheaper than a comet but better. people think that just because they can put made in USA that they can slap a 100% markup on an item and everyone would still buy it

    Don't get me wrong, but I Like America. I used to work at a go-kart track and we used to buy American gearboxes (for Karts with four clutches like a motor cycles and one drive gear joined buy a chain). The first thing we did was throw away the chain and modify the clutch basket so they'd last more than two laps. We also had an American Hoist that lasted about a week before the hydraulics died. So just because its American don't mean jack. At 14mins sliding those bushes in the clutch up and down is deceiving as they don't slide anywhere near that much when running.

    Erick Casillas they call them a torque converter, a thing in automatic transmissions in cars that works like a clutch, but is VERY different inside, but the torque converter acts as a CVT, I also wondered about that too. You can google a torque converter cutaway to see what it looks like, it uses the transmission oil to work, it’s kind of like having one fan on and putting one in front, which then gets turned by the air from the fan behind it.

I just laugh at him and he sold his business because all he was doing was ordering from a magazine and putting the price on there they tell him to put on.

    Well one thing I can say for sure is the Comet belts are definitely hands down 110% better than Chinese CTV aftermarket belts that wear out very quickly. You are right I just build small engines as a hobby and don’t have much time to play around with CTV’s I’m old school and like a good clutch but if I was using a CTV I would use the Comet belt people tell me their on their 4th belt on the Chinese knockoffs but I’d imagine they would go a lot longer on a Comet belt. Like I said I wouldn’t pay 200 for a CVT unless I had it on an engine I built that I would keep but I still like a good strong clutch that’s just me and I don’t even own a CVT.
