I've been doing some reading on Torque Converters for the Coleman CT200U-EXR-C.
Most of the Chinese products require a 3/4" shaft.
There are 5/8 to 3/4 adapters, but there has been some concern about them not having a full bite.
There are also 16mm to 1" adapters that would let me use a 1" TC and they look like you can get a full bite into them.
These adapters seem fast and easy enough to install and would save me from having to replace the crankshaft.
One question is, can it be good enough to use something like the 16mm to 1" or is it worth it to bite the bullet and replace the crankshaft?
I have also seen some videos talking about the difference between Chinese TCs and the USA made Comet TAV2s. If the lack of slippage, more aggressive torque, and longer lasting belts is true the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) may end up being the same in the long run with better performance from the Comet.
Question 2 is: Does the Comet TAV2 fit the Coleman engine with the TAV2 having more reinforcements on the back than the imports?
Go Power Sports has a TC that fits the Coleman's 16mm crankshaft. I'm not sure what the country of origin is (waiting for email response) or how it compares to the Comet in terms of performance. Go Power Sports also talks about needing higher revs for it to function properly in one of their videos.
Smooth parts and smooth belts seem to have a lot to do with the slippage and belt wear. Is the Go Power Sports TC any grippier than the Chinese. TCs?
Has anyone had any experience with Chinese TCs VS Go Power Sports VS TAV2s?
I'd rather bolt and go without pulling the crankshaft if I won't pay too much for it later.
Any advice?
