Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is the .065" thickness important for my clutch setup?
A: The .065" thickness is critical for maintaining the correct air gap in your clutch. Using the wrong size plate can lead to binding or excessive slippage. Always measure your current stack height to ensure this plate provides the necessary clearance for your specific clutch configuration.
Q: Is this floater plate compatible with non-Bully clutches?
A: Yes, this plate is designed as a versatile solution and is compatible with Horstman MDC and Greased Lightning clutches, as well as early DXL-4000 four-cycle setups. However, always verify your specific clutch requirements, as some older models may have used different standard thicknesses.
Q: How does a new floater plate improve my kart's performance?
A: By ensuring the pressure plate floats optimally, this component prevents binding and promotes uniform contact across the friction discs. This results in smoother, quicker clutch engagement and cooler operating temperatures during long heats, which is essential for maintaining consistency in competitive racing.
Q: Can I use this plate with clutch shims?
A: Absolutely. This plate is designed to work in conjunction with clutch shims, allowing you to fine-tune your air gap for peak efficiency on different track surfaces, such as dirt ovals or paved circuits.
