Drive Clutch slipping
Just had Cart Parts Plus put in a new spring and machine the driven clutch on my 89 2 cycle. When I put it back on, it seems like the drive clutch isn't engaging the belt properly. I can watch the drive clutch move in, engine revvs way high, then finally engages the belt way up close to the top of pulley after it slips for a long time. Have a newer 1 1/4" belt on that worked good before rebuilding driven clutch. Sooo, my question is could the re-worked driven clutch be creating more resistance than previous that's making the drive clutch not engage properly/slip? Will I have to get the drive clutch rebuilt now? I was trying to get a little more low end power by rebuilding driven clutch....sometimes when things ain't broke I should leave them alone I guess.

Re: Drive Clutch slipping
I would think that'll come around a work right. the only difference you would see in the drive clutch is where the belt starts out on the sheaves. maybe take a little sandpaper to scuff up the sheaves a bit, the belt has probably never ridden on that part of the clutch before.

Re: Drive Clutch slipping
Did you have the driven machined for MORE torque (low end) ?

Re: Drive Clutch slipping
It is supposed to rev higher BEFORE engaging .... That is what gives you more power on take off.

Is this what is happening or a misspeak, the belt must be riding very low in the driven. |
