Recently, I've noticed a very hard engagement on my primary clutch. I measured the free length on the spring (GP green), and it was about 3/8 inch shorter than it should be. I contacted Goodwin, and they sent me a new spring free of charge. Unfortunately, it didn't seem to change the engagement.
It's still very jerky at low speeds...engages at 4500, as it should, but disengages at about 4200 or so. I clean the clutches about every 300 miles. Anyone have any experience like this? Any advice? Thanks in advance.
Not sure if this will help, but they are GP-5 ramps...does that tell you anything? The ramps have been in there all winter, and had about 700 miles on them before I noticed the hard engagement.
I'm not sure that the belt is the problem either. It seems the same with the standard ski-doo belt, and the bombardier gold belt. The engagement wasn't as hard with these same belts before.
Zog, check your bushings on your sliding half. Although your sled is new it could be a fluke occurance. I have come across this problem in several 670's over the years. Check both the inner and the outter bushings. Also check the casting cover for the primary spring, sometimes there is a heatcheck or a crack in the diecast die and causes a flaw or raised edge in the casting hindering the spring to rotate freely and to bind under compression, therefore varying the spring rate. Just a thought.
The mechanic at the local ski-doo dealer figured it out in about a minute...belt deflection. Man, it's nice to have it engaging so smoothly again. Thanks for the input, everyone!
I have an early 1970s Bombardier Ski-Doo single cylinder. I need to lower the primary clutch engagement rpm. What spring and weights would make it possible to lower the engagement of the primary clutch. Thanks for any knowledge you can send my way... Chevysteve.
I wasn't interested in a new sled. Was satisfied with my 16 4-Tech 1200 Renegade and my 17 900 ACE Renegade. Dealer talked me into trying his personnal 19 900T Renegade with a chip and reflash. Claims it puts out 190 hp.
Besides being quick,and fast it doesn't lag and handled well. So I...
Hello
My snowmobile is skidoo Formula MX XTC, model year 1995. My skidoo front light work poorly (only 3 volts given) and i was wondering where is the battery located? Or does this skidoo have battery at all? Engine is rotax 467. Anyway there is something wrong with electrics.
I ride a 2001 ski doo touring 500fan, and over the past year have spent a lot of time fixing issues with it (it was sitting unprotected in a backyard for 5 years). I cleaned the carbs, fixed some electrical contact issues, and redid much of the fuel system. It used to bog down when I went past...
First time for the season the brakes lockup and got hot. and continued to do it all day. So replaced the caliper and dot 4 brake fluid cleaned reservoir and tried brakes seemed to work fine. Go out again brake lockup.
Can my rotor be warped causing this brake up?
Thanks in advance
