Actually my setup is virtually identical to that which Pyramid posted a week or two ago:
Parts:
Yellow clutch shoe
1.8mm pre-tension spring.
Black clutch shoe cut up as the flyweights
Settings:
0.5mm clutch gap
0.2mm endplay
2.1mm pre-tension
Rene did all the tuning of the pre-tension by observing how my car performed - he can see and hear when it is correct. He does the same in tuning the engine.
I really can't say how to do this, I wouldn't be able to do it myself anywhere near as good as Rene and I couldn't really observe Rene doing the work, as I was on the driver stand.
Cheers, Mark.

So you took a standard black clutch and cut it into 3rd's? Do you lay the pieces between the pegs? Is the 2.1mm pre-tension measured from the face of the nut (holding the spring) and the end of the clutch nut (holding the flywheel on)? Was the clutch real aggressive... snappy? Can you send your new "pit monkey" over to Ft. Meyers this weekend for my state race?
Thanks, jag

I measure from the end of the flywheel retaining nut to the top of pre-tension nut with calipers in this manner:
The clutch was nice, it wasn't too agressive - probably you'd need to use a bigger clutch gap and/or grubscrews in the flyweights to achieve this.
My pit monkey is Sow&Steady - are you sure you want him or are you after the services of the one true Pit Prophet??

Do you mean that when you get a new engine, the factory settings are the same as those I have now?

I do not remember actually, but not as far as HSN5.5 LSN2. More like HSN4.5 LSN4.. Must check again on the upcoming shipment late this month.

I've used it in two National races without problems. Especially in this last one where a lot of folks in the upper 40.9xx were having inteference issues.
