OK guys…my clutches showed up today and I have a few questions for you guys running the QSC/STM gen 2…
1. According to the instructions, the belt should be as tight as possible without squealing or creeping. Here is a video of it immediately after I installed them. As you can see, the secondary does creep a bit at first but after revving it up a few times it all but stops. Is this too loose or too tight or just about right? (Came with 2 fiber washers installed)
2. Notice in the video the rollers aren't engaging with the helix. Is that because it isn't under load? I assume this is the case and when I actually drive it, the sheave will slip a bit and then engage with the helix…yes/no?
3. Do I need to run it a bit and then re-torque the mounting bolts or was that only for the stock primary bolt? Also, are they reusable. If I have to pull the clutches for what ever reason, can you reuse the mounting bolts or is it recommended to replace them after they have been torqued to spec?
4. On the primary, I noticed all 3 of the weight pivot pins are not completely tightened to the clutch casting (there is side-to-side slop). Is this correct?
5. Is it recommended to rough up the sheave faces with a Scotchbrite pad or some steel wool or just rum them as-is?
