xp primary help

[schiermnultra]

just had the primary clutch rebuilt on my brothers 2008 xp and its sticking like crazy. was doing that when picked it up from the shop and they said might just have to ride it a bit. so now that we have rode it a bit and its still sticking im pissed. any idea on what causes this or what to look for when i rebuild the clutch again myself? any help would be great!

cheers,

Sounds like they over tightened something.

what do you mean by "sticking"? staying closed and trying to squeeze the belt when it returns to idle?

Agreed, need more info.

yes, thats what i mean. let off the throttle and contiues pulling the sled

most likely the bushing on the sliding half was improperly installed. does it eventually open fully? might be a broken roller arm too, but unlikely if it just came out of the shop.

how high is ur belt sitting in the secondary? u dont wanna see the threads in the belt..

Yup, bushing or they never put the small spacer in the cup for the spring to seat, giving the spring a bit more tension. Hard to tell without seeing it but a screw up none the less. I'm going with a screwed up bushing.

I've had it happen, brand new bushing walked out a bit and had the same symptoms. pulled it apart again and pushed it back in and it stayed. dunno why it moved after installing

You mean the big bushing? That has a retainer ring..

I think it just had punch marks to hold it in

thanks peeps for all the ideas and help, sounds like im gonna tear in to it myself this time. never had one apart before so will probably get a buddy to help for the first time.

It's good to take it part yourself and see how it all works. Then you can do your own maintenance too. It's best to buy the 3 doo button holders if you are gonna put it back together yourself. It's pretty straight forward, and just remember to "align the arrows and notches" upon re-assembly.

Yup, the TRA is very simple actually. Its easy to maintain with simple tools. You only need to remove the sliding half too, although the newer taper style are harder to separate vs the splined ones.....

Okay, before it gets all crazy, how much is it actually still engaged after you let off the throttle?

Does it just simply creep along? If so, as mentioned the belt deflection likely just needs to be adjusted.

It is like riding a bike; once you have torn into one a couple of times you will never forget how to do it.
