2015 pro Rmk possible motor damage

[Turbo Dragon Man]

I have a 2015 pro Rmk and changed the primary spring and I torque it all up and when to fire it up and it started selling and I stopped it as soon as I heard the sound so I took the primary off and noticed the back of the primary was gained down and it was grinned against the pto bearing guard.

Some questions I have

- is it possible I over tightened the primary onto the shaft pulling it farther than it can go.

- did I do any motor damage like pull bearings or other possible damage internally.

- what reason would it do this

How many FT LBS did you torque it too?

So you used a torque higher than the specified one? Did you apply any lubricants to the cone as well? Seems strange that the clutch should sit to far in on the cone, is there any cracks in the tapered end of the clutch?
If you managed to start it I would imagine that it was only touching the bearing guard lightly and the engine should be fine

Clutch must be cracked, it's tapered so it's not possible to put it on to far! probable need a new clutch and when you pull the clutch of again take pto guard off and clean behind it and then reassemble. Primary clutch torque is 80 ft lbs and then you ride it and retorque it until it doesn't take anymore torque.

When you pulled the clutch off did it come off or did you hit it with a hammer To pop it off? seen guys smack them and actually push the crank into the case

Here is the back of the primary and bearing guard

I didn't use a hammer I just used a impact to take it off , didn't come off easy though

Why would you take the clutch off to change a spring?

 

[Turbo Dragon Man]

I only have a bench compresser

You can change it on the sled without a compressor of any sort, many do remove the full clutch though.

Is there any reason why it would do this thogh

 

[mtncat1]

take it back to Polaris it's under warranty . don't sweat it to much stuff happens . there is nothing you could have don to cause that.

 

[Turbo Dragon Man]

It goes on fine just don't understand how the bearing touched the outside of the clutch, should be done to drive

 

[nuggetau]

Looks like you installed it with the impact wrench?

 

[Turbo Dragon Man]

Yes I did

 

[BILTIT]

Yes I did

So you used an impact to install the clutch?

I think you see now that was a bad idea?

Check your manual or do a search before operating an impact on anything.
