Newbie here. I just picked up a db30 a few days ago. Way underpowered for my weight (240 lbs) but what can I expect for a big guy? Blah blah 6.5 clone swap yeah yeah.
After doing searches on how to do it (so I wouldn't get flamed! Haha), I cut down the clutch spring and re-assembled it. I think I cut 4 or 5 off, definitely enough to make it a pain in the :censure: to get back on, but I used the hose clamp tip (thanks, btw) and I muscled it on.
I test rode it, and I noticed little improvement in a higher stall. But I was thinking about cutting more, my question:
How many coils can I cut before I start weakening the spring rate to work properly (lowering stall rpm)? Or how many before it's impossible to get back on?
I've got a 3.5 Robin motor laying around, I might throw it in since I don't have the $$$ for a 6.5 or something better. So no need suggesting a motor swap QUITE yet.
THANKS!
