    Just fitted my 70 kit and new variator, but when I give it throttle from standstill, it crawls forward, sounds like its bogging, then after about 5 seconds, the revs kick in.. could this be clutch springs (if so do i need stiffer or less stiff?) or jetting??

    wouldn't heavier rollers make the problem worse?

    did you upjet the carb when you installed the 70 kit if not you will need to do this and maybe play around with the roller wights and clutch springs

    as minors sed before the rollers dont affect the first few seconds after you pull off so it would b either clutch springs or jetting i would say get sum stiffer springs then if it doesnt cure the problem have a play around with the carb setup

    thanks haugh, you were right
    i've put in some heavier rollers, and it accelerates much better now!

    it will do as its going through the gears slower. needs diff clutch springs in deffo. if the revs drop of as you get faster the rollers are too heavy, if the revs sit nice all the way to top speed the rollers are fine.

    the revs do drop slightly, so i might drop the roller weight .5g and get some stiffer clutch springs after i've finished running in and can make a better judgement
