TAV2-30 on a Clone

[Phil1958]

any way i try to fit the tav2-30 on a clone doesn't work.

is this the wrong torque converter for a clone???

it only shows a tecumseh in the installation instruction.

:hammer:ut:

The TAV will work fine on a clone engine. You just need to clock it to clear the cylinder head. You may also have to grind one or two fins from the back of the support plate

yep, thanks! the mighty band saw removed two fins and life is good here.

cool :thumbsup:

everything seems to fit now. the finger grip on the rear oil plug has to be
shaved down but the torque converter is tight up against the crankcase
and there is no interference with any other metal.

time to put it on the MX frame.

:thumbsup:

you also may have to jack the motor up about a inch for the rear pulley to clear the frame
