Joseph Posted February 4, 2021 Author Posted February 4, 2021 Skimmed a tad off the push rod and it is now working much more like it should Feels like there is a bit of slip higher up in the rev range when you give it some, but maybe i need some uprated springs due to the state of tune ? I heard that the R springs are softer than the F springs ??? And i clearly have no way of identifying what the provenance is. With a hydro clutch, is the extra spring rating noticeable like it is with a cable clutch ? I'm hoping maybe less since it is the fluid and piston doing the job ? Quote
clivegto Posted February 4, 2021 Posted February 4, 2021 Put some washers behind the springs if this helps buy some heavy dutiy springs. Quote
Joseph Posted February 4, 2021 Author Posted February 4, 2021 Ah good idea, i was wondering about that. Will see to test that tomorrow. As for the uprated and hydro clutch, will that be ok on the hand ? Quote

Joseph Posted February 5, 2021 Author Posted February 5, 2021 Ok cool. I think i will give them a try, not exactly expensive On another note i was told that the reason the F springs were harder is because they have more coils than the R springs. Makes sense that the extra compression would do that, but can't understand why a less powerful less torquey engine got the hard springs ? Anyway thanks everyone for their input in this headache Quote
jameskat Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) More coils would make a softer spring (longer length of wire), larger diameter wire would make a stronger spring, fewer coils would make a higher spring rate. Edited February 5, 2021 by jameskat sorry Quote

Captain Chaos Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 neither is it mine. Many Brits and Muricans don't know the difference between fewer and less Quote
