Question Clutch spring questions

As I stated in aprevious post i have shrill noise in my CVT on my EZGO ST 4x4. I talked to an EZGO technical support guy today and he stated that he had helped his neighbor who also has a ST 4x4 try to eliminate a similar problem. He stated that they had pulled the clutch and had thoroughly cleaned as best they could with degreaser and a solution of Simple Green using a stiff bristled brush and dried and blowed it with air and then added dry graphite lubricant. He stated that had made a huge difference. I took mine a little farther and dismantled the clutch as much I could by removing the weights and rollers which allowed me to see that I had to force the bols out and that the were dirty enough to to have siezed in one position and had worn on one side. I am glad that i had taken those out or I would not have been aware of that issue. My clutch has guide rollers made of what looks like a nylon composite and one side of those would not turn and I was able to free them up.
Now to get to the question I have concerning the spring. I have noticed other thread refering to changing the spring for kicking in at higher idle speed. My spring is black with a green dab or dot on it and measures 1-3/16" ID by 3-1/8" long. Is this a way of identifying this spring? Is it advisable to change this spring while I have it torn apart? I also see ads for EZGO clutch springs fitting for example 1998 and up. Are these EZGO springs "one size fits all"?

Default Re: Clutch spring questions

As far as the spring goes, if it works don't fix it. I might change it out for the same type of spring though. I'm not sure on how to identify them but a cart shop can help you.
