IM kinda stumped on the sprocket size
running a 6.5 hp w/ 600 feet of line
ordered a 12 tooth TAV 2 and not sure what size sprocket i should use
would 60 be to low?

ive been running a 12 tooth cvt, 60 tooth driven, 8 in inner diameter spool ratio for 4 years now... no complaints

60 tooth will be perfect with you're setup and it's a cheap easy to get sprocket that will last.

What would you guys recommend for a 8hp motor ? 12/72 ?

Montgomery, I have an 8hp Briggs on my winch now and I use a 72 at the moment. The spreed is pretty good but it takes a second longer to pull you out then the 60 tooth. I'd recommend trying somewhere in between like 64 tooth.

JB_CANSKATE, are you using a clutch or TAV ?

can I use the comet 30 series or should I use the 40 series ? For an 8hp Briggs

someone please say again that they are using a 12/60 ratio

Montgomery, 40 series. the only dif. is the shaft size.

Ok so I kinda screwed up and missed out on the engine I was bidding on but I found another one this one is an 8.5hp Briggs and it has a 3/4" shaft. Can I use the 30 series TAV since it says 3-8hp ? I would like to use the 40 series but I can't find one with 3/4" bore

the comet 30 is spec'd up to 8.5hp

Ok this is the last question . . . . until I can think of another Wink

. . . . . I missed out on the 8.5hp briggs and found another engine it's 8hp/1" shaft. The TAV I'm debating on buying is the 10 tooth 40 series should I go with 60 or 72 ? Or what ?
