critter

hello every one i got out last weekend for the first time on my sled since i bought it like a year and a half ago since there was no snow near me last year , i bought the sled and then installed a reverse kit in it and the problem i am having is that it has to rev to like 5k before the clutch engages and it not smooth it hits hard. it kind of sucks trail riding i am always reving i really dont remember what it was like when i bought it but the orig owner did not look like someone who would install a aftermarket clutch in it considering it was a spare guest sled my question is could that be a clutch issue or something in the gear case like chain tension too tight/too loose ? i believe the spring is yellow also thanks !!

I'd guess that your clutch is probably worn out... Remove it and give it a good inspection.

Spring is weak or broken could be the problem also.
You will have to remove the end plate to inspect it.

The yellow spring is stock, but if it has never been replaced it's probably pretty shot by now. I would service both clutches. Install new springs, check roller condition, make sure ramps are smooth and check to ensure weights are moving freely, as well as cleaning the sheaves and a new belt.

A High engagement wouldn't have a worn out spring, but could be a stuck or sticky clutch!
