Clutch pitch out?

someone help me out with this...

Well boo, I don't think the dr. cl. is poping open, but I do think the driven cl. is poping open. Remove the driven cl. and before you take it apart check to make sure that the spring tabs are in there holes. If they are buy a new driven cl. spring. Its the cheapest way to go.

   -Auggie-

I changed the spring, however I compared the tension and the preload on both, and everything seems to be the same. Darn it, even in Montreal there is no frickin" snow... can't test drive it.
I'm not convinced that  this will solve the problem. Could it be a problem in the primary? Maybe there are too  many shims in the drive therefore not closing enough.

Anybody care to pass on their comments?

I had a 94 700efi. Those sleds made a whole bunch of torque and vibration!
Take both the drive and driven apart and clean, clean, clean!(You can do this with
simple tools and a torque wrench.)
Use contact cleaner, break cleaner or electric parts cleaner.
In addition look at the buttons and rollers on your drive clutch.

Your problem simply sounds like you have wore out componets.
Replace your springs in both if they are original. You may also want to think about
replacing your helix and weights if they are also original.
These are common wear items that can be the cause of almost all drivebility
problems.
(Just my 2 cents)

the fingers or ramps were changed on the primary... at least that's what my dealer says he changed. He said one was broken but changed the three...I don't think he changed the weights or rollers...

Would you agree that it's definitely not in the crankcase?

BTW, how would you adjust the idle on an EFI? is it done electronically theu the brain or is it mechanically done through the adjustments on the throttle body?

what should I be idling at ? i'm idling ar 2200 rpm

I just came back from my cat dealer...20% off end of season clearance! bought a genuine leather baseball cap with a nostalgic 70"s Arctic cat logo on it. an actual cat logo!
looks great.They were displaying a Red F5... b-u-t-ful!
and light!! you can lift the ### end and actually throw it around... it's like picking up a 250 Elan from the 70's!

I spoke to him again about the clutch pitch out problem and he told me that the threads may be stripped on my outer clutch plate... at least I think that's what he said... i'll have to check it out. My idle? I should be idling at 1400 he says...thinks I have a ripped Boot...

thanks for the G2 on these problems, guys...
