I have a 600 red head, 136" 1.5" paddle. Primary went from YGY to WSW. have 8AB's 2.4 inner .8 in tip, 50/42 helix, silver secondary @ 60. My question is if it is normal to have to load more weight in the tip when going to a quicker spring? I thought it was the inverse? I was pretty well bang on before but it seems now that I have a slight overrev ( 8800-9000). Haven't had it for a good long pull yet, just short pulls in deep snow. Primary a little hot, secondary good. Just like to know if I should take some parts to the field when I go?

When your running a weight with that profile(8ab/8ca/8bu) with a dual angle helix allways load the tip the heaviest then add inner weight if you need to bring down rpm,s low/mid.

Now have 2.4g both holes secondary @ 70 seems to be good so far. Still need to get a long pull, but short pulls in deep snow turns out 8500 smack on and pulls really hard. (Very easy to pull the skis.) If it works out well I will post it in the clutch setup area of the tech pages. I do have a couple of other primary springs that I would like to try but we'll see. Thanks for the advice Turk.I had the inverse done with the rivets. I loaded inner first, then tip. It's all a learning process and I love it.

Got out for a good long run on Sunday and the clutching is not right. It will pull your arms off up to 50-60mph then it's like you deployed a parchute. It falls right on its face. Off the line it hits 8500 then slowly drops to 7900-8000. Tested againts a 600 ho rev and got smoked bad. Left him by about 20' off the line then at around 55 mph he shot by me and kept on going. I topped out at about 83mph on the speedo. My last setup I have seen as high as 113mph on speedo under ideal contions. On the 8AB's should I pull down the tip weight or the middle to .85 to gain back my rpm? Is the secondary spring too tight ? Oh and clutch temps are really good.
