1. Install moveable sheave with spacer washers. Important:
At least one spacer washer must be installed. Teflon™
bushings are self-lubricating. Do not apply oil or grease to
the bushings.
2. Install spring, inserting spring tab into proper hole in
moveable sheave.
3. Insert spring tab into proper hole in helix. See "Clutch
Chart" of the specifications page in Chapter 1.
The driven clutch, helix/moveable assembly has several
different spring locations which affect clutch shifting and
RPMs. The greatest amount of spring tension will raise engine
RPMs during clutch upshift and allow quicker backshift or
downshift when pulling or negotiating a hill, for example. The
least amount of tension will create a slower downshift and a
harder upshift.
