Just wondering what your opinions are on the SMC red 2disc clutch. I have one and really like it. I don't see many of them and was wondering if there was a reason for it.
I've heard that term used before "snap engagement" but I don't know what it means exactly, can you explain?Does the black have a smooth engagement or the snap like he bully?
Thank you for the try, but I still have questions. Define engagement? My definition of engagement is when the shoes first contact the drum and the kart starts moving. From your explanation, I'm thinking (and I could be wrong) you mean when the shoes stop slipping and the clutch locks up.Al - he is referring to how hard it engages. Some clutches engage hard like bully, some smoother, more gradual pull like smc vortex. Thought process is that hard engagement could temporarily waste power on lower hp engines, whereas a constant smooth engagement allows the engine to stay up on power.
Thank you for the well written response, I appreciate it.Hey Al, yes, your definitions are correct, however they miss the point of what he is asking. He wants to know the "how", you're defining the "when".
