I have a skidoo that i bought with a high performance clutch and it dose not engage to about 5000 rpm's and it feels like it is sticking. What can I do to make it engage at a lower rpm and smother. Thankyou
how do you ajust a high performance clutch to engage in a lower rpm

Not sure what a "high performance clutch" is but it may also have a race setup in it that has engagement notches. You will have to pull it apart and see what is in it.

first see how it runs and if the rpms are correct at wide open throttle i would pull the primary spring and see what it is and get a spring with less initial rate--example if your is a 200-350 then get a 160-350 and that should bring the engagement down--and still leave the finish rate the same

how about adding weight

That will bring the engagement down slightly, but mostly lower your peak operating RPM.
If it doesn't have the ramps with the "bump" in them, going to a lower start rate spring is the logical first step.

Spend $30 and get a primary spring with either a 130 (3,800 rpm) or 160 (4,200) rpm.

Tell us what sled, track, motor, and riding style....and I'm sure someone will have a ramp recommendation or 10.

I need more info, but if you have access to a clutch balancer/tester you can see if your vertical axis alignment is causing a higher than normal engagment. You could also try and paint your springs different colors to change their pressure rates along with a carbon test on you exhaust pipe which can affect clutching adversley.
I am staying at the Holiday Inn all week if anyone else needs any help.

Ahhh yes the vertical axis alignment and carbon testing diagnosis-just what I was thinking He-He

I heard that clutch spring paint has been banned because children under 12 years old might eat it? The initial poster would be better off just buying a new spring.
