Need more power!
Yargh!
Well I think I can add couple more parts to the list… I was checking a couple of things over and noticed that the clutch shoes were dragging quite badly on the inside of the clutch bell. I took the bell off and saw some hairline fractures at both shoe flex points. A exploratory nudge at one caused it to fall off onto the bench. Further examination of the clutch bell showed the attached pinion to have extremely worn teeth. Nine dollars for a new Vmax6 Clutch shoe set brings the overhaul up to $29, just $60 shy of the Vmax7. I will need to pick up a new $7 clutch bell for either. At this point I am sold on the gas solution, so let me steer this thread back toward its intended purpose.
Rebuild the Vmax6?
Use the money for the Vmax7?
<whispers> both?
