INSP CLUTCH TUNING CLUTCH The clutch may require tuning depending upon where the snowmobile will be operated and the desired handling characteristics. The clutch can be tuned by changing the engagement and shifting speeds. Clutch engagement speed is defined as the engine speed at which the snowmobile first begins to move from a complete stop.
Page 87
INSP CLUTCH High altitude tuning Atmospheric pressure decreases and engine output becomes low at high altitude locations. Because of this, clutch engagement speed and shifting speed also decrease and unable to maximize the engine output power. To maxi- mize the engine output, tuning for increasing clutch engagement speed and shifting speed is necessary.
Page 88
INSP CLUTCH Parts that affect transmission characteristics Among the components of the V-belt transmission, those that have direct impact on the shifting function are described below. Part Element Impact on the shifting function Primary sheave Spring Preload • A larger preload increases the clutch engagement speed, and the shifting speed tends to rise accordingly.
Page 89
INSP CLUTCH Part Element Impact on the shifting function Weight rivet Quantity Rivets are fastened through the hole in the weight. Material • Using more rivets decreases the clutch engage- (iron, aluminum) ment and shifting speed. Shifting tends to become somewhat easier.
Page 90
INSP CLUTCH Part Element Impact on the shifting function Torque cam Cam angle The cam angle determines the degree of sensitivity (spring seat) of load torque detection. • A smaller cam angle increases sensitivity, which in turn increases the sheave thrust to make back shifting easier.
