Arctic Cat weights have that for a set screw that keeps the weight centered on the pivot bolt.

I am getting 46-47 mph track speed with Carl's setup and it pulls like crazy. Tons of fun to ride, was just hoping to get rpm up a bit. My belts were lasting fine. Stock sled before stage 3 was 8200. I could be wrong, but doesnt really seem like something is wrong with the sled.
My guess is they are trusting the digital wrench which is a mistake. It is roughly the quality of a ten dollar meter from Wally World.
Also the setup starts with the fully closed throttle plates as a baseline set point. Most dealers just assume the factory set it correctly which IMO is too much trust in mass production performed by minimum wage morons.
If they / you follow the full and proper setup procedure that is posted here on SW, it is my belief it would fix your issue.
I don’t trust a dealer to uncrate my sled much less work on it. FWIW
starting to consider that route. beginning to wonder why I bother with warranty anymore. dealer says they'd have to drop the tps out of spec to get the idle to normal. isn't that a red flag?
my frustrations might be fixed with an ascender after this sled.

Seems odd to me that Tony’s sled(s) with the same setup is pulling 300 more RPM at an elevation 2000’ higher than you. Something is obviously wrong.
Not sure what to tell you guys....new motor mounts and torque arm mount, alignment good, deflection set, belt to sheave. 028, track tension set, tps set....pulls Carl's setup and 64s to 8250 sometimes 8300, and pulls 66s to 8100. Pulls like a freight train and has great track speed. Tried everything Tonys recommended so far. I guess tell me whats wrong with sled?
People ask for honest reviews then get butthurt when it doesnt fit there theories.

Tony obviously is happy with his setup and obviously others are happy too. Tony was willing to help and try to get this to work for me. But im just not happy with it. Not mad at Tony, and not mad at Rodgers. Nobody made me buy these parts. I bought them to try out, gave them a fair go, but just not for me.
Talked to Tony on the phone this morning. His only thought is the stage 3 at my lower elevation is just blowing through the shift curve so fast. Not sure. We are testing a stock Axys today with Tonys clutching today so we'll see what that does....
Cool that you are making an effort! Did you ever try the "original" 46/32F helix? I am running this at sealevel and my stock Axys runs GOOD! so maybe not that far from your stage 3..?
Of they can make this concept work on turbo sleds, yours should be possible to.

Sure, I see that. Not sure yet if I was just lucky or what. But it works quite good as is and no heat, so I'll keep chasing the sweet spot in this setup a while yet.
So far I have 1 helix, 2 secondary springs, 2 primary sprins, a re-shim, pro gears and 4 or 5 sets of Lightning weights into this.
It's sledding.. [emoji19]

My stage 3 is really finicky with elevation change. It's like an over ported motor!
With bully dog tune reloaded and Carl's clutching back in, my sled ran awesome today. I put in another new secondary spring yesterday, not sure if the new one i put in at the beginning of season was bad or what. But in over the hood snow today she was pulling 83-8350. Sometimes 8400. Ran flawless all day.
Buddies stock sled with Tonys setup had same experience as i did with his stuff. 81-8200 very flat feeling and just felt like it wanted to spin and not go. His clutches were hotter than mine with Carl's setup.
Called Tony and gave him the info and he thinks we are running a to light of weight for 6-8k ft elevation. Stock sled needs to be loaded to 62.8 grams and my stage 3 is going to need closer to 65 grams. We are slipping in the primary and never loading motor. Monday im gonna put his stuff in the wifes stock sled loaded at 62.8 grams and see how that compares to my Carl's clutching.

I like this feedback. Figuring out why it doesn’t work at a lower elevation is good.
Where we can ride at 7000’ we are turning 8450-8550 with this setup. At 9700’ it turns 83-8350 and an unloaded track will turn 8400. 61g.
I truly believe the fly weights are to light.
dktraw, Ill loan you a set of 65.3 Lightning weights and a 46-32F/46-34F to try if your willing.

If it’s geared to low it’s a detriment. I gear for 76-78mph at 1:1 at 8250.
