Jack, thanks for your comments, I believe we are on the same wavelength. What started me down this trail was my top speed of 52 mph probably due mostly to the altitude of 3000+ ft. At 52 mph my motor is not spinning at its max rpm so I was thinking that if I could modify the clutch and reduce the gearing I could get the motor rpm's up more into it's power band. With a little luck increase my top speed to maybe 55-mph. You are obviously knowledgeable on the variable clutch set-up so I do appreciate your feedback.

 

bubba1005 thanks for the tip; I will for sure be using a torque wrench when reassembling.

 

At this altitude I will have to agree with Jack. I have found not much differance changing the clutch configuration. Maybe if you were to control a test with a stock comparasion you could see the differance. The only extreme performance change I could tell is getting off a pre HO and getting on the HO. But again it is at this altitude, at lower elevations where H.P is greater it might be more noticable.

 

I cant tell aa real big diff.i will post the results later when i run my buddies stock HO this weekend.

 

I just installed a white spring yesterday(at sea level).....I notice the diff.
My torque is shot so I used a 1/4in ratchet.
I can tell you what NOT to do while changing the spring.........................................
DO NOT FORGET TO TAKE THE HAMMER OUT WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY OVER....Duhh
Snapped like a twig,and this was'nt a small hammer either

 

man you forgot to take the hammer out???? LOL i bet that was a surpize.did you notce the diff? have you checked your spark plug to see if the right jet is in there?im at sea level also and my HO was running on the lean side.

 

500duse did you take her out for a ride??

 

Yeah,I just got back.IT feels like it's got more *****(ground power,I think they call it)out of the hole.Harder to tell because we just got 8inches of snow last night.
I'll know more when I go Griz hunting tonight.
No I havent checked the plug yet.

 

next you should do a plug check.run it up as fast as you can get it to and shut the key off and check your plug.

 

did ya do your plug check DUSE? its important that you do.im at sea level and my HO was lean.i went to a 155 jet and its still alittle lean,so i got a 160 from chopperbill im going to put if it quits raining today.
