so I got the secondary torn apart today and cleaned up. previous owner had a blue spring in it and was set to #1 on the sheave and #6 on the helix so was pretty stiff with quick backshift and never completely upshifting and rpms were too high. I now have it set to #3 and 3. it really helped it out. I'm now turning 7900 @wot and it pulls really good. little slow on the backshift but I'm ok with it for this season. my p85 clutch has a blue spring with 10M weights that weighed 48.6 grams. I needed more weight so I scuffed the bottoms of the weights with 80 grit sand paper and added some solder to increase them to 53grams. wish I had made them to 55grams because I think it would have put me at 7700/7800 @ wot. yeah it may seem a bit unorthodox to add solder but not much heat was needed. I will now buy a new set of 55grams for the permanent fix. It was really more for testing. that's all for now
