I was wondering if this would be possible if I found a puch clutchdrum. Or if the clutch is at the right size if I could use my stock clutch drum. I want high tention spring madness. Tomos clutch look like a pain in the ass to tune.
Puch 3 shoe on Tomos
Re: Puch 3 shoe on Tomos
i know nothing of tomos, but dont think it will work due to the clutch side taper of your tomos crank.
Re: Puch 3 shoe on Tomos
not sure that will work,todd and i tried this and it worked well-- you can cut slits in the stock tomos clutch pads and that will help engage smoother as well as give you some low end from the first gear and a bit more torque on top end second gear, also you take the clutch apart and shorten the spring a little and that will make it stiffer and faster esp combined with the slits.
Re: Puch 3 shoe on Tomos
Ummmm, have you opened you tomos tranny? Have you seen a puch clutch. There is no way in hell it would work.
You can make your springs shorter or get stiffer springs, and lighten the shoes on the tomos.
Re: Puch 3 shoe on Tomos
Yeah I could do that. It's just I can't get the clutch spring out of the clutch. Never heard of lightening the clutch shoes. Could I do that and lighten the clutch and the shoes?
Re: Puch 3 shoe on Tomos
Shaving the clutch shoes sounds interesting. My spare clutches are gonna get it soon.
Re: Puch 3 shoe on Tomos
Lighten the drum and the shoes I mean
Re: Puch 3 shoe on Tomos
Any gains you think there might be from lightening the drum?
Re: Puch 3 shoe on Tomos
Lighten the shoes... As in remove metal.
Re: Puch 3 shoe on Tomos
on a similar subject.. how the fuck do you guys get the springs back in after shortening them? i cant figure it out for the life of me.
Re: Puch 3 shoe on Tomos
You can tune tomos clutches no problem. Each clutch has a single spring and 3 shoes. To control the rpm which the shoes engage you can install a spring with more tension or remove weight from the shoes. Slip also comes into play. If the clutches slip too much you can add a small slot in the center of the friction material. Keep in mind thought that by reducing the amount of slippage you are also lowering the rpm that the clutch engages.
Re: Puch 3 shoe on Tomos
well i definately want it to engage at higher rpms.
