Do you need heavy springs in primary clutch?
Yes, drag racers would want heavy primary weights to accelerate as hard as possible, most likely with very little regard to throttle response and flickability. Yes again, we as boondockers are probably much better served with light weights and springs in the primary clutch.
When to use a stiffer clutch engagement spring?
A stiffer primary spring will raise your clutch engagement RPM from a dead stop. Typically most of our clutch kits include a primary spring that will raise this about 500 RPMs. When a stiffer primary spring is used you will need to readjust your operating RPM. ( slightly affected by this).
What do the weights on the clutch do?
About Clutch Weights What are your weights doing: These weights control your vehicle’s operating RPM. Operating RPM is the RPM your engine runs during full throttle. Add weight to lower the operating RPM. Subtract weight to raise operating RPM. Why this is important: Your vehicle makes its peak power at a given RPM. This is your target RPM.
What’s the difference between Goldstar and Dalton clutch weights?
The Goldstar weights are what we use as our standard weight because you can adjust them 22 grams. Dalton weights can also come with the kits but do not offer the vast adjustment that the Goldstar weights do. Next we give you a new firmer drive clutch spring. Now here is the second reason our clutch kit works so well.

Can a sled pull a heavy clutch weight?
Heavy clutch weights that can be pulled easily by a sled at lower elevations become insurmountable for the engine to pull as the elevation increases. My question is: Is a sled able to reach it’s full power potential when a primary spring of less than high total force is used?
