06 900 primary clutch problems-idea's?

[frozen north]

Ok- Here is the low down.
I t my primary and secondary clutchs back from Indy dan- 2 months ago.
Went out riding last weekend- was doing some hill climbing and S#$T.
I almost most made it up the hill- 7/8 of the way up- I lifted off the throttle just a tad to realign the hill and CRAP - it died- on a pretty steep hill.

I went to restart it and man- that was a very hard start- the track was engaged- So I glided down the hill to check it on a flat area.
Went to restart- and - it started up no problem.

Took it out Friday- Hit a open road- got up to about 55 and came to a stop and the engine died.
I popped the hood and side panel- clutch was still engaged.
Had a weight hanging up.
Here is what I found.
Go it home- sled has about 40 miles so far this year.
All 3 weights have the dimples- or wear spots from riding on the rollers.
The rollers -all 3 have flat spots on them.
Looks like I need 3 new weights and rollers.
I have never seen a weight hang up in the roller before.
If you hit the weight arm with a flat edge screwdiver to release it-bang- the clutch goes back to the normal idel position.

Any ideas?

Ideas? Yea, it's worn out. Either it's binding on the roller or its binding in the spider.

How many miles since it was rebuilt?

about 40 miles.
Indy dan did the rebuild- Ran awsome for the first 30 or so miles.
The spider had to of been reshimmed for the 115 belt-correct?
Looking at the wights tho- they were deffently binding on the rollers.

MAN- I thought that was you- I had a 3 car on the lt side of me and I was heading W. otherwise I had a clear shot to get over
I saw this black sled and I instantly thought that was you.
I was looking for a clutch or parts- but that sled looks good.

LOL...dont let it happen again...haha..

i would call dan...he gets to emails, but its much easier/faster to call him...i know he will make it right..

cant imagine he did anything wrong...might be a bad batch of weights or clearence issue overlooked...

i have a spare primary with a ring gear on it you can use as a temp if he takes yours again...

got your PM...
