Just Wonderin about my cluth on my sled wonderin if anyone could help me out?

 

I may be able to help you, I have been riding Arctic Cat sleds for 20 years but I am going riding for 4 days on my new 05 650 LE so I may not have time to answer your question before I leave. If no one on these forums has answered your question soon, go to ArcticChat.com or Snowest.com There are many sled riders on there that can answer your question.

 

What sled do you own and what is your clutch question???

 

2000 ZR 600 EFI... i just rebuilt the whole clutch and it ran fine for about 200 miles but now it rev's rpms to about 6 grand before it engages...and it will slip alot when u get it rollin... i didnt know if i need a new spring or what not... but the sled also has 6000 miles... u think u could answer that?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

Tons of possibilities
heres just a few:

1.) No snow. Have to wait a few months before riding.
2.) Track bound up/ misaligned
3.) Drive axle - bad bearing
4.) jackshaft- bad bearing
5.) frozen back clutch
6.) bad/burnt belt
7.) weight may be cocked in drive clutch
8.) Clutch weight pin too tight, causing towers to be squeezed
9.) Swollen clutch shaft. remove cover/belt, see if it moved freely (happens more to big cc sleds)

 

When you rebuilt the clutch did you replace the springs and weights??? Maybe they are worn out, or worse a broken spring?? I busted one on my MC 600 last year. Did you torque the clutch when you put it back on? Maybe spinning on the shaft?

 

yeah all the wieghts were replaced but i didnt replace the spring in it so thats problly the reason why... thanks alot guys....

 

What clutch did you rebuild?? Primary or secondary?

 

primary

 

Put my money on a worn spring.
