How fucking dumb do you have to be
That's not how centrifugal clutches work. You have to take into account the load on the drivetrain. Pull the belt off and look at the rpm when the primary hits full shift out.

2020 ford trucks to come with 7.3L LS engine
Hopefully this new 7.3L engine finds it's way into the F53 motorhome chassis. Scratch that. Hopefully Ford builds an all new, from the ground up, F53 chassis, fixes all the serious design flaws with the current F53 and installs the new 7.3L engine coupled to the new GM/Ford 10 speed tranny. It's been a decade since GM/Workhorse got out of the Motorhome chassis business and Ford still hasn't caught up. Time to toss the old F53 in the garbage and build a new chassis for serious super duty performance. We can only hope, right?

Team 8 coming into Nome. They covered 75 miles in 52 minutes. That is an average speed of 86.54 MPH for almost an hour. And of course this is after 4 hours and 250 miles of holding it WOT.

Hey HSR.....you wanna apologize?
Absolutely true but I'm not the one here referencing perfect clutching as the only way to make a sled go good.
-
Hey HSR.....you wanna apologize?
As I mentioned before. You don't own and have never ridden a sled that was clutched perfectly.

Let me see if I can help you understand what Ben is saying. On a typical mountain sled you want to clutch for the altitude you will be playing at most that day. Say that's 8000' and you clutch it light for 8000' because you have about 20% less HP at 8000' than you do at 1000'. You clutched light and made max power at 8300 RPM. As you get back down from elevation you're making more HP and your clutching is too light allowing the engine to over rev. To compensate you back off the timing and reduce the RPM and HP. Same clutching, reduced RPM, similar or slightly more HP with reduced timing. A centrifugal clutch responds solely to RPM. An engine making 150HP at 8000rpm could surely use the same clutching to a similar motor making 250HP at 9000rpm. This is basic tuning. Is the clutching perfect on both sleds, No but its close enough for the average guy out playing on the lake or on the trails. Perfect clutching is a fairy tale. There are tradeoffs across the entire temperature and altitude range unless you're boosted. Ben is correct about this. It's fairly easy to see for most people.

Nome Garage live feed. It will become live in about 90 minutes is my guess.

Just Nasty.
These lake front sites at The Crazyhorse are only water and electric. The honey wagon stops by every tuesday and friday and empties our holding tanks. Works good. They stop by like clockwork even if we are not here. The honey wagon is included in the rent. When we have full hook ups I leave the valves closed and only dump when the tanks are 3/4 full or the morning we are leaving. If you leave the black water valve open the water will outrun the turd and the turds will stick to the tank, hose, connections and dry and cause big problems. Obviously we leave the grey water closed until after emptying the black tank as the gray water flushes everything nice and clean.

Hahahaha. I tried to convince my wife that pee tickets belonged in the waste basket while we're in the RV. She looked at me like I was crazy and said "ummm, no way. If this thing can't take a few pieces of toilet paper then we need a new motorhome" I immediately folded and said, "yep, never mind"

Really easy. I felt obligated to my accountant friend but once he decided to move away from Alaska I had no more obligations.
