just my 2 cents here,but i'd go with polaris clutching myself,i went with a comet on my gpx this winter but kinda kick myself for not going with a p-85.
ordered a new one on dec 1st,still didn't have it by the 21st,had bought one off ebay when it wasn't looking like i'd get the new one,had to get bushings and rollers,ended up buying the parts from 3 different companies.comets are good clutch's,problem is the company that now owns them are famous for buying up bankrupt comapny's just for the name and really not delivering on parts.they own the rights to comet,tecumseh and a few others,heard the quality control on the new ones isn't very good either.wish Aaen,or Wahl or some one else would of bought them instead.

they don't have everything
https://www.denniskirk.com/comet/mo...102-c-thru-1985-clutches.p38340.prd/38340.sku
still waiting on that from early dec!
most 80's and 90's sleds had the p-85,but you need to use the secondary clutch also,because they are a over drive clutch.
not trying to discourage you from the comet clutch,but i would stock up on some extra parts and not count on certified parts corp to deliver in a reasonable amount of time.one nice thing,you can use polaris and cat weights in your comet

Ok thanks for the input great help
 
THATS NOT THE SPRING YOU NEED IF YOU RUN A COMET AND CAN FIND PARTS. comet PURPLE OR YELLOW/ GREEN. ANY OTHER SPRING WILL NOT GIVE YA THE ENGAGEMENT YOU NEED AND YOU WILL BE ON HERE POSTING YOU CAN,T GET RID OF A LAG. NEED TO BE ATLEAST 6000 ENGAGEMENT FOR WHAT YOUR DOING HERE. 3:16 (yammie tony)

Sorry if i gave wrong info but i thought old blue spring was good for your aplication. But yes, you get highest engagement with purple (if i rememeber there was also two different available with dif ratings). Maybe notching is also needed.
 
#207758A PURPLE OR 208228A YELLOW/GREEN. REIMOND, NOT A PROBLEM BUD, WHO KNOWS IF YOU CAN EVEN FIND THESE SPINGS ANYMORE. SO YES, MIGHT NEED A NOTCH. 3;16 (yammie tony)

Ok thanks alot guys for ur time you were a big help I'm sure the info I gathered from you two will be right on thanks
 
I know you can still get the purple. That spring works fairly well. Otherwise epi springs work good too.
