I'm using the Xray collet for Novarossi, I'm using an OS engine. Thickness of the shoe is about 4.5mm. I don't see anything wrong. I'm thinking about compressing the clutch spring in a vise... bad idea? or maybe it won't do anything, I don't know.
Ok, I was talking about measuring from where the clutch wears (the brown area on the clutch shoe, to the 90* corner of the shoe. But after looking at your parts they look ok. start with your preload nut even, and a gap of .5, I think dietta was right. Sounds like your engine is just pig rich. How much liquid fuel / oil is coming out of the exhaust? I was assuming it was a clutch tuning or part problem. are you new to nitro?
