Top dead center, and clutch

[HoldMyBeerAndWatchThis]

So in a rush to pop off my clutches, I didn't Aline the marks to 12 o'clock,now I have my clutches cleaned and put back together properly but don't know what position the crank and pistons were in to match. This is on a 2010 skidoo, I call one dealer ship and he said it didn't matter. Just want to get some opinions. Thanks

As long as your clutches are lined up correctly it don't matter!

Your clutch is balance so it doesn't matter where clutch is positioned on crank - make sure all marks are aligned on clutch though!

That's all I wanted to hear, thanks boys

Aligning clutch with crank started on Etecs in 2011 then all 800R engines followed with a index mark on crank in 2012 to current if memory is correct.

But it does matter if u index Ur 10 clutch.

Do it at 1,2,3 ok clock and so on.

Makes the idle vibration less and u will know when I hit the sweet spot by the feel of it.

Then mark Ur clutch , and center punch the end of the crank.

Mines at 6:30 ish where it made the best.

Just have to get bolt snug so it won't fall off , but yet is still easy to remove.

K - got me wondering how rotating clutch on crank would make a difference. Don't think each clutch has been balanced specifically for each motor ! I would think clutches are mass produced , balanced and then installed on engines . can anyone tell me any different ??

Problem is not every clutch is balanced 100 % ( mass produced ) and not every crank nose is true.

Makes the engine vibration less ect , which makes the crank last longer.


If u match the 2. It's like balancing a tire on a rim.
