Does the PRIMARY Spring Sqweeze the belt?

O.K. O.T. Post your ideas here instead of the other thread.

The Primary spring pushes the clutch sheave open the arms push the sheave into the belt.
 
Hens here's a Scenario......Your out west climbing a steep steep slope and your clutch is under exterem load and working real hard........Your TRA is holding it's peak RPM of 8150 but the track is creeping up the steep hill real slow. Which of the following keeps the rpm at 8150 and the track creeping along real slow ?

A. The primary arm/roller
B. The primary ramp
C. The primary spring
D. All the above

OT
 
Does the primary spring squeeze the belt.

I say no, the primary spring resists belt squeeze.

A stiffer primary spring raises engagement rpm. The primary spring opposes and therefore regulates the primary weights/ramps squeeze on the belt.

If there is no primary spring, the clutch will squeeze the belt sooner and with more force.

So.... I'm will be one of the guys who says the primary will squeeze the belt with no spring present.

Feel free to show me the error in my thought process, or lack thereof.

E. none of the above, it's the thermal viscosity of the clutch fluid that will take care of your track creeping!!!!
 
OT-
If it is the spring that puts the squeeze on the belt then tell me what is purpose of the arms and ramps in the primary clutch?
