That is up to you, but I wouldn't get carried away with to high of engagement, maybe try the next stiffer spring see what it does and go from there.

Most of the springs are about the same price as each other. What color spring is in there now, what is stock?

An almond blue would give you a little bit higher engagement, but keep the finish tension the same.

SLP has one that's Blue/Yellow. It's rated at 140/310. Part # 40-70. Other than that, it's going to be a big jump.

be careful where you order your springs from, spring colors are not universal between each manufacturer.

the weights are what "forces" the clutch open and closed

higher RPM creates centripetal force on the weights so they fly open. when the fly open, the push against roller pins and the pushes the the outer half of the clutch closer to the motor (compressing the spring). When you let off the gas, the motor slows down, meaning less centripetal force on the weights. with the force on the weights, the force of the compressed spring pushes the clutch back out to the position its in when the sled is idling. you can see how it works by putting the sled on a track stand, opening the clutch cover, and running the sled and hitting the gas

no problem, but on the pink words, i meant to say "with less force on the weights" my bad, i had a lot of grammar/typing errors on the last post. i should proofread before i submit haha. but on snowmobiles, the primary clutch, secondary clutch, and belt are the equivalent to a transmission. snowmobiles use a CVT (conitnuously variable transmission) which is why you dont need to shift like on a dirtbike or ATV.
