Plowmans performance BLK spring question

Tawas · 06-07-2014, 07:49 AM

I installed the plowmans performance kit and Don isn't there on weekends :( and have a question on the black spring maybe someone can help ..on a stock cart I can pull on the drive belt and open the secondary clutch but the blk performance one I cannot open secondary at all by hand is this normal...does the secondary clutch not open unless the RPMS are much higher???maybe a new spring has to break in ???

I have the black spring & yes it is 2x as stiff as the factory one I took out. it holds you in a lower gear longer for more hill climbing power but I did loose top end when I switched to this spring. you should be able to start it in netural & rev it up & make sure it opens up & lets the belt ride down in it.my belt looked shreaded for the first 2 hours strings hanging out don said its normal on break in.

yea mine not going down at all when I rev it up.. but Iam not reving to crazy either kinda afraid to rev in neutral to much..

I hear ya I floored mine for like 2 sec. just don't let it tach out. mine almost goes to the bottom of the shaft my old one would & that's why it went faster.

why did you change what you paid for..suppose to be better..I just dont know why its doesn't move down almost at all??

the plowmans kit was to give me more low end power & keep the same top speed or even increase it some. which it did not. lost 7 mph on top end. im new to this so my only answer is that the new black spring is so stiff that it wont let the clutch open up enough for the belt to ride all the way down.

it sounds like your new clutch is hung up on the shaft & not able to slid back & forth.
