already did that,their at the races all week. im just going to wait until my primary gets here and see if maybe thats the issue.

 

Olav is big into the dragracing scene, be it snowmobiles or ATV's.He's out there on a regular basis racing and testing new things at the track.It seemed like back in the day when I would call his shop trying to pick his brain for tips, tricks and advice I would spend more time talking with his wife about how he was doing at the races...LOL.

 

The video is on the newer machines that use a roller clutch and dont need to be pre loaded. If you can find a video on the older Polaris snowmobiles 2003 and older the clutch looks a little different but is the exact same way to preload it.

 

the dalton primary showed up today. i installed it along with 10MB weights. and the results are as follows
-it takes more throttle to get moving. im guessing thats from the dalton blk/wht spring. i have the cover off and i watch the rotation of the clutchs. i think the primary is sticking a little.
-off the bottom end it pulls good then it stops accelerating. not really hitting a wall just kinda goes soft. im doubtful that having the secondary preloaded only a 1/4 turn and not 1/3 is causing this. then again i dont know all that much about them so anything is possible. if it was wound the wrong way i wouldnt think it would take off as well as it does.

 

if its wound wrong or not enough it will make a big difference, it also depends on elevation as to which holes the sprig ends go in ,

 

im going to get it rewound tommorow and set it back to 1-1.
i pulled the primary bolt and cleaned it up,its much smoother now. heres a vid of it off idle then a couple throttle pulls.

Im working on an 05 sportsmansecondary(replacing the buttons) which way, clockwise or counterclockwise, should i preload the spring. it is completely stock. sorry for the minor thread jack.

 

you will have clutch upside down to work on it,I mark the slot on the splines with a sharpy , need to turn the helix 1/3 of a turn clockwise to pre- load spring , there are 3 ramps on it, it can be a littlte tough , works better with a buddy to help

 

i guess thats the part that throws me off,the splines.can you mark just anywere or is there a specific location?

 

what is the *$@!ing trick to getting the snap ring off. ive broke 2 pairs of snapring pliars.
