Is it normal for the sintered metal clutch to turn blue? Overheating? Poor alignment with clutch bell? Vekta KV5TT, stock transmission.
Short break in period of the Taylor 35cc engine with sintered metal clutch. I would say about 1.5 tanks of fuel. Vekta KV5TT with stock transmission. Was waiting on the vertigo transmission that came in last week. Had the opportunity to inspect the clutch. Seemed to hinder performance due to more slip than grab. Seemed that I had to warm up the clutch for 20 minutes before it grabbed better. Not what I am used too.
I know some will bash on me for running the can pipe and Vekta stock intake. Have new parts to replace them, was not seeking top performance during the short break-in period. I was running the engine in a rich tune and not often. Just wanted to see what I could observe with the stock form first before I started replacing the parts with upgrades.
