Clutch Setup with roller rooster secondary

when you reassemble the helix/cap you will need to preload the helix against the rollers. the cap is adjustable.

I took the helix off last night and had a look, it's a 47/39. I'm looking for a new set up for both clutches and i'm open to any sugestions. I haven't seen too much about the roller rooster so i'm not too familiar.

When you said preload the helix what exactly did you mean? I just put it back to the position that it was in. Thanks
 
put the helix in the cap. remove the spring. put the cap/helix back on the clutch. do not put nuts on studs. twist the sheaves so the helix ramps touch the rollers. there should about 1/16" space between the cap & sheave stud towers. if not loosen helix set screws & adjust helix in cap untill you get 1/16" gap.
benders spec is 45/39 w/ stock spring - green

Thanks for the info, I didn't know those specs. So bender is calling for a 47/43 with silver, I was hoping I could get away with using the helix I have now.
 
No worries bob, i'm not sure how I ended up using the pink spring. Should I try the helix I have with the stock green spring? Or is the pink spring a good match? Thanks
 
pink spring i think is going to be too much. that's used on the 121" apexs. silver i think is going to be more than you need. i think turk might have the helix that you need musselman. try contacting turk.
 
use the green spring @ 70*. the helix should be ok. remember every sled & motor is always a bit different & generic specs always need fine tuning.

When i 1st started using roller rooster secondary i knew very little about them. i started using real steep helix,s with a 47ish start. I found after a while that was wayyy too steep. Bender was controlling a bad overrev by throwing a very steep helix at the sled. That will kinda work ok on real hardpack but on loose snow or powder the sled would fall on it,s face.
You need to find a shallower helix & get more aggressive on the primary by loading the weights up more. I have a few original roller rooster helix,s kicking arond that would be a lot more suitable for your application.
