It's acctually Duck899 on DooTalk that makes it....Makes sense and seems to work....No issues over 3 season for me..

Ive got one from duck899. Great guy and his floater seems to work well. My clutch temps went down a bit, they weren't too high to begin with but the cooler the better.

Duck899 on dootalk makes them. It is a good idea to put one on.helps to keep the clutches lined up when the engine is twisting under load.

does anybody have a picture of the floater?

It's just a machined spacer that doesn't allow the bolt to snug up to the secondary...http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Skidoo-Secondary-clutch-float-spacer_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ100453QQihZ017QQitemZ270203912183QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

cause on my 07 151 there is just a bunch of washers and it doesnt alow the clutch to snug up either.

I've got one and it helped alot with aligning my clutches. Last year if I adjusted the deflection, one run would wear the belt down so it was sitting down in the clutch. I did this afew times until there was no more deflection adjustment. Now with the spacer the belt does not wear, there is a fraction of the belt dust and my belts are lasting longer.(haven't switched yet, still on second belt)

Huh?

If your secondary doesn't snug up securely on the jackshaft w/ 16 ft./lbs. of torque applied....something ain't right? Does the bolt feel like it's bottoming out in the thread boss before it secures the secondary? You should have multiple washers and a dust cup riding on the helix face. You should check to see if you might possibly be missing a few spacer washers...JMO.

just make your own. they are simple to make, I made my own for about a nickel. one inch aluminum rod about 2 inches long. Drill out the center so the bolt goes thru and voila! Works great, about 800 mi. with mine and clutches are much happier.
