J.K Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I've never seen one of these before, maybe you'll be the first to try it and report back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I tried them on my Revo years ago - not bad when set up OK. It was before the 'traditional 3-shoe option' was available. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netroxen Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 God that looks cool, I like that it's machined alloy as well... How does it work over the conventional clutch shoes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Set up well, which isn't difficult, they talk about a bigger friction area compared to the standard clutch .... don't know. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m_c Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 The basic assembly is the two shoes are arranged to create an 'O', and you then run the spring around the groove and hook it together (I'm guessing one goes either side). Then as per typical centrifugal clutch, when you spin it the shoes slide apart against the spring pressure and engage with the housing. However I'm wondering what keeps the shoes central when not engaged, as if they're not held central they're going to slide to one side and drag. Also, why does it include 3 springs...

Just guessing but I would think that the fly wheel nut (the original one0 would stop them from sliding sideways. Maybe the springs are different strengths as the springs that you get with the three shoe set up. Still we will see when I get it, I will keep you informed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 The 3 springs are generally spares if you stuff up hooking together, or different strengths. The clutch bell generally stops lateral movement. I could be an idea to set up a tongue and groove format - which they haven't. Perhaps they found it was either unnecessary, and/or sticking through wear after a while. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian w Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Clutch bits assembled ready to go on, there is a spring either side one grove is deeper then the other, unfourtunately it came without instructions so I took a guess at which way up it went and put the shallow grove to the flywheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomr Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 These last for ages much longer than a 3 shoe set up . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie1 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Very interesting, would be interested to see how you get on with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian w Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 O/K see if I can get this right. The clutch bell is the standard one 16 tooth that wa taken off Brass plate in place with lip facing ur that gives you the seating for the bell bearing Ready to go back in Lines up nicely with spur wheel. I have not had a chance to give it a run yet but have bench tested it and it works fine. I am not sure how long it will last but at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderwolf Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 sorry i didn't mean for that post to sound harsh.its just harder to follow if each bit is done in their own post, particulary if it ends up going on 2 pages as it has done here.
