There are no gears, no complicated controls or levers and neither manual shifting nor clutching is involved in these systems. The basic operating principles of the variable speed drive system of the type used in many RV's are shown in the above illustration.
The variable speed drive system normally consists of an engine clutch 1 , and a driven unit 3 , connected into a system by a "V" type belt 2. The engine clutch is activated by centrifugal force, and the driven unit is torque sensitive, meaning it is responsive to the torque demand of the driven shaft or jackshaft, to adjust the ratio of the system for the power required according to the various conditions. Both the clutch and the driven units are composed of pulleys with moveable sheaves.
The moveable sheaves allow for the pitch diameter, offering infinitely variable power ranges. How does it work? The drive clutch 1 is activated by centrifugal force from the engine crankshaft. The moveable sheave of the clutch is forced in as shown above as the rpm of the engine is increased. This contacts the drive belt 2. The drive belt will then be forced to a larger diameter within the clutch sheaves, thus pulling it to a smaller diameter within the driven unit 3 sheaves.
The moveable sheave of the driven unit is 3 forced out, as shown, allowing the belt to seek its smaller, high speed ratio diameter. As this happens, the speed from the engine transferred to the final drive is increased. The illustrations show the variable speed drive system in the extreme low position broken lines - 2 and the extreme high position solid lines - 2.
The system is infinitely variable between low and high ends. Why use a Comet Torque Converter System? Since these devices consist of a "belt" and two "variable pitch pulleys" all working together harmoniously, serving as both clutch AND transmission, we often call them "variable speed drive systems. Each Comet system is fully automatic and can be used anywhere that control by engine throttle alone is desireable.
Utter simplicity makes both cost of this equipment and its installation modest and also reduces future maintenance to a negligible minimum without compromise of performance of versatility. Since ratio selection and "down-shifting" is automatic, braking and vehicle control are enhanced. Even engine and drive train component life sprocket, chain, bearings, etc is extended since shifting is smooth and not subject to the hazards of manual control.
What are the keys to a proper alignment? What are the keys to a proper belt selection There are some common problems that often do not provide or allow for the ideal operation of the drive system and the vehicle. What does "Asymmetric" mean? A torque converter system concept of driver, driven and belt member, the opposing halves or sides of each member being unequal in angle.
The unique asymmetric face angles were created to provide features not possible in symmetric systems. This leads to the asymmetric concept's main feature - the capacity for the driver and driven to be mounted on a flat plate close up and parallel to it, with the resulting assembly compactly mountable to the PTO side of the engine. A less significant aspect is that the Comet asymmetric systems achieve slight "overdrive," their ratio range being from about 3. What does "Center Distance" mean? The exact measurement between the center of the crankshaft to the center of the jackshaft.
There always is only one correct CD setting for a given driver, driven and belt. Welcome to 6x6 World. You are currently viewing our boards as a guest which gives you limited access to view most discussions and access our other features.

The end of the spring is set to an adjustment hole numbered with 1. The default hole that your spring is set to is 1. Please bear in mind to always be careful when disassembling and reassembling your torque converter. In order to adjust your torque converter, you must get access to the spring. After you have removed the snap ring and the nut, proceed to remove the fixed cam and the spring from the torque converter. Leave the rest in place as it is.
However, a go-kart stand is not required for this process. Now that you have removed the nut, snap ring, cam and spring, you can start to adjust the spring setting on the torque converter. If you take a look at the image above, point 4 indicates the torque converter adjustment holes.
By default, it will be in slot number 1. The next step is where the actual adjustment happens. You can detach the spring from the fixed cam and place the end of the spring into a different numbered hole.
The holes are marked as 1, 2 and 3. The higher the number you place the spring into, the more torque your go-kart torque converter will produce. With all of the holes pointing up, the sequence is in reverse order: Hole 3 left , Hole 2 middle and Hole 1 right.
