help me if I'm getting this all wrong...
I am to understand that the springs on a lever type clutch hold the pressure plate up. when the RPM's increase the levers by use of rotational mass pivot on their axis and put pressure on the pressure plate thus compressing the springs and making contact with the disks... causing friction and then acceleration upon engagement.
by backing out the springs (less spring pressure to hold) thus engagement at lower rpm... also can be done by adding weight (washers) to the levers... more mass
more spring pressure (tightening spring) and less weights will cause the clutch to engage at a higher rpm...
good to go?? or out to lunch?
