I was at the Region 4 race last weekend and Paola said he was using the standard flyweights, 1.45mm spring/nut gap, black shoes and .4 mm gap on the clutch bell. He said the .4 mm was the key. Maybe he can elaborate on this. He was definately the fastest guy on the track.
Woow ! 1.45 mm is a lot !
The rule of thumb (for me at least) is tighter pre-tension nut setting and small clutch gap like 0.4 mm used on a smaller and perhaps a more slippery track. Vice versa for large clutch gap and mostly used on larger more open track with higher traction. Perhaps the track did not have lots of traction.
