Re: Clutch question on an '07 "Drive"
I pulled the old secondary off today, and took some pics of it. It's no wonder my engine was screaming just to make 14 MPH. The belt was worn down to 7/8th of an inch and would not even come close to making the top of either clutch. The secondary was dished and had a few cracks and a hole in it. Can't wait for my new parts to come in....

Re: Clutch question on an '07 "Drive"
Sandbagger are you gonna be doing any changes to your primary clutch? Looks like it will be a pita to remove with the frame rail in the way. My secondary sheeves surfaces are in better condition than the primary sheeves.

Believe it or not, my primary looks to be in much better shape than the secondary. That being said, I'm sure that there is going to be some bushing wear. I'm going to install the new secondary and the new drive belt and see how the primary shifts. If it works reasonably well, I'll leave it alone for now. If not, it'll be time for a rebuild. |

Re: Clutch question on an '07 "Drive"
Well, today my parts arrived from Plowman's and true to my nature I couldn't wait until the weekend to work on the buggy, so I installed the clutch and belt tonight. All I can say is WOW! The belt sits at the top of the secondary and will run up to the top of the primary (Which means it's still good whew!). The performance difference is like night and day. The cart now has what I can only describe as a "creeper" gear. it makes for slow and smooth reversing and pulling out. But as the engine revs up it quickly shifts up to the cruise mode. I had anticipated that I would not gain any speed and that the engine RPM would come way down as the governor kicked in and I was right on the money on those points. I was still at a 13 - 14 MPH speed on the Radar gun, but the engine was running at nearly half the speed. So I cranked down on the governor nut, and the top speed jumped to 16 MPH. I still have to install the new jets and modify my air box. But for now I'm a happy camper! More work will follow........

Re: Clutch question on an '07 "Drive"
Great news about the clutch/belt upgrade If you want to go faster, might try www.cartpartsplus.com govenor speed spring, it makes your car fast without bypassing the govenor system. Fairly easy to install. we've had cars over 25 mph with it installed.

Re: Clutch question on an '07 "Drive"
Does anyone know where I can find a rebuild kit for a salsbury clutch that is off a 91 hyundai gas cart? I really just need one green spring that holds the dogs down.
( I probably am not using the right description of parts) This is the last part i need to finish my rebuild.. Hopefully someone could direct me the right way...Thanks |

Re: Clutch question on an '07 "Drive"
Sandbagger so you got the secondary clutch and spring, belt, air filter and jet kit from plowmans.. That sound correct? I wonder how much more performance is achieved if you go all out and get the same package you got but also get the primary clutch from plowman as well. I'm just looking for smoother acceleration and better low end power. It's fast enough now with the 10mm nut tightened in a bit.
