Clutch Expert Advice Needed
I have a question about my current setup. Back 10 years ago I had my stock G1 and I purchased a Plowman's secondary clutch kit. Nice clutch. But it was designed for the 2 stroke engine that ran both CCW and CW so it has a non preloaded spring with no tangs/tabs.
I have been running that clutch in every engine swapped version of my G1. Here is the current setup, which works well and has not problems: G1 cart G2 transaxle G1 Plowman's secondary clutch & belt 16hp Vanguard engine Comet 780 primary clutch from CPP I did buy a 4 stroke G16 secondary clutch from member "Dave in VA" but I don't have the matching helix with the holes in it for the spring tabs. My helix is a G1 version which doesn't have the holes. Here's my question: Am I leaving anything on the table torque or speed wise by using this clutch vs the proper 4 cycle secondary? |

Re: Clutch Expert Advice Needed
I dug up the old photos from when I installed the clutch in 2012, sorry they were hosted on Photobucket and for some reason the photos have the label? Not sure what's up with that.

Re: Clutch Expert Advice Needed
I see that Plowman's has a clutch kit for $299 for the G2/G9. I wonder if it's worth switching?

Re: Clutch Expert Advice Needed
Still using the red spring in the CPP secondary?

Re: Clutch Expert Advice Needed
Andy, all of Plowmans springs are tangless. I'm not sure if you could tell the difference between the different springs. I've got a couple of extra springs.
