FAQ

FAQ for #40 Pitch 13 Tooth Torque Converter Sprocket


Q1: What does the #40 Pitch refer to?

A: The #40 pitch refers to the chain size that the sprocket is designed to fit. This is a standard size for many small engine setups, including go-kartsmini bikes, and other racing vehicles.


Q2: How do I know if this sprocket will fit my engine setup?

A: This sprocket fits torque converters with 5/8” output shafts, making it compatible with most CVT systems or torque converter setups for engines with 3/4” output shafts. It fits popular systems like the Comet 30 Series Torq-A-VerterJugga-A-Verter, and Super 30 Series CVT and Torque Converters.


Q3: What’s the benefit of adjusting the tooth count on my torque converter sprocket?

A: Changing the tooth count allows you to adjust your gear ratio. A higher tooth count will increase top speed (MPH), while a lower tooth count will provide more torque for better acceleration. This allows you to tailor the vehicle’s performance to your needs.


Q4: Can I use this sprocket on a racing engine?

A: Yes, this #40 pitch sprocket is perfect for racing go-karts and mini bikes. It’s designed to handle the demands of high-performance engines, offering customizable speed and acceleration for various racing applications.


Q5: Is installation hardware included with the sprocket?

A: No, the installation hardware is not included and must be purchased separately or reused from your torque converter. You will need the appropriate sprocket bolts and chain to install this sprocket on your vehicle.


Q6: Will this sprocket fit #420 Pitch Chains?

A: Yes, #40 and #420 are the same pitch (.500) with the same roller width 5/16”(.312). The #420 chain has thicker plates that make up its links, which make the #420 slightly stronger than the #40 chain. 


Q7: Will this sprocket fit #41 Pitch Chains?

A: No, while #41 has the same pitch(.500”) as #40 and #420 chains the roller spacing is narrower at 1/4" (0.250")
