Default Re: Help with clutch basics?

Put it up on blocks and ran the throttle up and down and the clutches seemed to be working normal. Put some lube on the secondary shaft and ran some more. Then up a good hill, noticed that when I start at low speed at the base and accelerating up the RPM's climbed and it ran great, nice and clean with no smoke or heating. The issue before was approaching the hill at WOT and then it would bog as it lost mo. Sec spring was not broke but I could compress it slightly with my thumb, could be the 27 year old original for all I know? The belt is 1 3/16" wide (stamped #1305) and sets about 1/8" below the top of secondary sheave at stop. I see no weights so they must be in the drum on the primary? Plan to read the manual when it arrives and then call Don. Thanks
