The 800 never saw the white or orange spring. Now my spring is heavier causing a delay in belt engagement. Do not worry about bothering me, we are all in this forum to learn from each other! People help me out, I help people. It is a nice cycle here! The grooving can be caused by excessive idle, according to the directions. Mine is grooved. I have no evidence that H/C caused it!

 

I am assuming that since the h/c with no spring change lowers the engagement, as your previous post showed, that caveat from h/c is to warn that excessive idle rpm may cause engagement earlier than expected and cause the belt to wear the groove you found on yours. As for lessening the effect of the EBS, I do not understand how that would occur unless there is also a delay in backshifting to the point where the EBS sprague/bushing becomes effective. I need to learn how these EBS clutches work a little more in depth I guess.

 

I believe it is something like this The primary plays a big role in EBS. My clutch needs highr than stock RPM's to engage the belt on XLER8ION (you like that?). On decceleration, the clutch returns sooner, not giving the very slow creeping down a hill effect, caused by EBS. The EBS works best when engine is near idle and belt is engaged. With my belt disengaingsooer on deccelertaion, I feel this is the cause!
