Torque Converter/Engine problems

Hello mancoowner!
Sounds like the driven puley has problems. It could be that the moving parts are rusted and need cleaning and lubricating, or possibly is was assembled incorrectly. Is the drive pulley opening back up when the engine is off, or is it still squeezing the belt? It could be a problem there too.

the nubers and design are the same so unless this number is a differentsize now, then i have the right size. but still that would not explain the engine dying when letting off after full throttle or just sitting and a foot off the gas. How do you explain that? I'm bumfuzzeled.

Is the engine just dying like it's getting shut off, or is it being choked off from the direct connection with the comet clutch? (kinda like stalling a car with standard shift when you stop without pressing the clutch pedal)? If it's just dying when you let off, then it's probably a problem in the idle circuit of the carb.
One thing to look at on the clutch...the belt should be loose when the engine is off. The clutch on the engine should be open far enough that the belt is all the way down in the groove of the pulley and touching the shaft. Also look at the belt and pulley...some have "v" pulleys, and some have a "v" on one side, but the other side is flat. If you have a v belt in the clutch with a flat side, you'll have some problems, and visa-versa.
