I know the deflection should be about 1" 1/16 but mine is at about 2". New belt also. How do you adjust this and does anyone have pics?

 

start: Pull of belt cover then the belt.
1. next remove rear (driven) clutch. You can use a impact with low air pressure (70lbs)
2. clutch should slide off shaft. Clean up shaft and very lightly grease with moly.
3. turn clutch over on work bench.
4. mark location of outer clutch and the inner(helex)
5. two person job at this point if you haven't done it before.
6. with rubber hammer tap helex(about 1.5" from center snap ring)on raised edge.
7. with hands push and hold helex down so you can remove snapring.
8. once snapring is removed hold tightly, because the outer clutch and helex will rotate fast and
come apart under spring pressure. ( note rotation direction of clutch assem.)
9. pull helex up and note location of spring ends to holes in clutch.
10. the two sheave halves will come apart, and 2-3 shims will be between them. Leave the thickest
out. Clean up everything with parts cleaner. Light lube at approate areas.(very light, to much belt
slips)
11. check for any worn or broken parts and replace. (Helex bushings or buttons)
12. put sheaves together with shims, put spring in right holes, line helex up with splines, compress
helex slightly and hold sheaves and rotate helex to line up marks.(approx. 120 degrees CW) when marks line up push helex all the way in sheaves. Put snapring on. put back together.
check deflection. if ok ride, if not start over. removing thickest shim should be 1/2"

 

check your new belt with your old one.a got a new polaris belt with the right numbers on it and it was to
long took it back got new one with no problem.to check the to belts put them side by side on handgrip
and pull them tight the new one should be the same length or a little shorter.

 

Thanks for the information handycap, easy to follow directions, had to remove the large shim. Do you by chance know what the best spring setting is for the secondary clutch. 1-1? 1-2? 2-3? Saw two spring setting on the top half and 3 on the bottom half.

Thanks again.
