Can someone explain how this tool is properly used? I think I am doing it correctly, but just want to make sure.
First take off the secondary. Slid the tool onto the shaft until it stops. Rotate the tool until the notch slides onto the primary clutch shaft. This should check center to center.
Should the three pins be flush with the back of the primary or offset one way or the other? I assume they should be flush, right? Adjust the pins by adding or taking off the spacer washers on the secondary shaft. If you take some off of the back, do you add them to the front? If I do that now, there is little or no free play of the secondary when installed.
I bought the tool used with no instructions. I think I am using it correctly, right?

Yes that is right. You adjust your offset with the 3 pins being flush with the primary.
Sheave offset:
15 ± 1.5 mm (0.59 ± 0.06 in)
(13.5 16.5 mm
(0.53 0.65 in))
Secondary sheave free play
(clearance):
1.0 2.0 mm (0.04 0.08 in)
If you can't get it close, you might have to buy shims. The inside ones are different then the outside ones used for play.
For offset: Shim size
Part Number 90201-25526
Thickness 2.0 mm (0.08 in)
Free play: Shim size
Part number 90201-222F0 90201-225A4
Thickness 0.5 mm (0.02 in) 1.0 mm (0.04 in)
If I find the istructions, I will post them or send them to you.

Thanks for the reply.
What's the difference in the shims? They look the same with just differences in thickness. Maybe someone has already messed with this sled as I bought it used. I have the pins aligned flush with the backside of the primary. I just need to get the free play adjusted correctly.
Thanks,
Lance

Hey Lance, I think the inside shim has a larger diameter center. I don't think the outside ones will slide all the way on the shaft. (if I remember right)
There are many posts about running the clutch with no play. Guess it is a matter of preference. I have mine set to spec, and it works fine.
