HI everyone. I have a buddy that is all of a sudden having some clutching issues and since I ride Polaris, its all just a little out of my realm of knowledge so I'm hoping for some help.
Sled: 2010 ski doo summit 800 cc 154 track. 3000 or so miles. we ride anywhere from 4,500 ft to 8,000 ft. He has never touched the clutches. not a clean, not a new spring.
He's getting better as a rider and was realizing his rpms were garbage up high so we started moving the clutch clickers to higher numbers to get rpms back. That worked great. But now his belt is sitting about 1" low on his secondary clutch at idle. lots of slop in his belt. Im assuming either he has a broken spring or too much dirt and grime inside the clutches to allow them proper movement.
Primary clutch: Im assuming its time to take off his primary clutch for a good cleaning and new springs. What clutch puller do I need him to get? according to SLP website, theres 2... I think P drive is only on the new 850s? so go with the other option? should I just have him put in stock spring or go with SLP kit for weights and springs? If going SLP kit, can you lead me in the right direction? Can I do all of this work without a clutch press? When pulling off clutch, is there anything I need to know different than doing it on my Polaris? I usually use the tighten, pound, tighten, pound method until it pops off. I have seen some methods for pulling it off with water and teflon tape as well.... is that a good option?
secondary clutch: Ill take this one off sled too. Should I e replacing spring on this one too? Can I get by without clutch press? I have used a stick of all thread with washers and nuts before to tighten it ack together as means of a homemade clutch press.....
Anything else I should be looking for? On the shaft of secondary clutch, there is a black metal collar piece that I assume goes in and out to change height of belt in secondary? what do I need to know to approach messing with the collar.
