ok so heres my scenario I removed the primary clutch and secondary clutch to do some maintenance. I replaced the weights in the primary and reinstalled it, and I replaced the secondary spring with an HPD violet in the 2-2 position. This was great for about ten minutes and then something started to happen.

after about ten minutes my quad would run great up until I pasted half throttle then all of a sudden it would rev real fast but not gain any speed at all above what 1/2 throttle would give me. Any ideas what this could be I have two potential ideas.

One the spider may have started to some loose when I removed the clutch, it did but I tightened it back down.

Two when I removed my secondary clutch last night I noticed I could push the belt down about two inces into the sheeves with just one finger not pushing hard at all. Is this correct? it seems there should be more resistance then that.

 

I did preload the spring a 1/4 of a turn as well prior to reasembly.

 

it could be a combo of a few things. belt too worn? and the spider didnt get tightened enough? i think the torque spec in the manual is like 200ftlb. did you inspect you buttons in the secondary when you had it apart?

just afew ideas.....

Sounds like the snap ring let loose on the secondary.Check it.

 

the secondary buttons are new, although I need a new helix its got some worn spots.

Tightened down the spider to the pount it wouldn;t move with a breaker bar.

Also reloaded and installed the snap ring on the secondary we will see how it goes.

thanks guys I appreciate the help. Its nice to know the things I checked are whats recomended I'll try it tonight and see what I get.

 

It's got to be something you can see or find fairly easily.

 

thanls guys I did some more searching and saw posted that my belt should be just above the secondary, that do ya'll mean by this? my belt sits even with the top of the two sheaves.

 

thanks for the response Bubba.

god I want off work so I can see if this is fixed and how the polaris drown will feel in the primary.

 

Sounds like something in the secondary.Like CED said the snap ring come loose or the spring came out oh the holes.did you preload it counterclock wise if so you need to go at least 1/3 turn to get it over the helix ramps.

 

The belt should be riding about 1/8" above the sheave at the top.
