New to the L206 after many years of 2 stroke Karting. Road racing only! Dennis Scott motor and couldn’t ask for a better guy. Dyno shows peak torque at 3800. First race out, was told by a fellow competitor to go with 4 black springs- clutch came in about 4000 and seem to be too far past peak torque and The “pull” was slow compared to others. Second race out, went to 2 black, 2 white, and was better, but came in about 3400 and seemed to struggle to get to the 3800 range, where it seem to accelerate decent. I guess my first question, is what peak torque average are you guys seeing on the dyno? I then went to the Hilliard engagement chart. I noticed that the chart was “when shoe first touches drum- Not Lock Up!” I then got a hold of Brent at Hilliard, and found out that it is approx 400 RPM from the time the shoe touches the drum to “full lock up”. If we assume the 3800 peak torque is correct, and try 2 black to white- at 3400, which with the 400rpm for full lock up, I would think that there has to be some “drag/pull” on the motor In between the two, therefore your actually pulling on the motor way before peak torque. I have went to 4 black and 1 heavy weight per shoe for the next race, thinking that “starts” engagement at 3600 and your right in that peak torque range as the clutch goes from “touching drum to lock up”. Am I thinking Right? Third Question- has anyone tried this Hilliard Sanding Drum to “profile” shoes? And?
As Always- Thanks!!
