hey i recently killed a spur gear and i bought a new one do u have any advice on how to get it perfectly set and it is a 49t
somebody said to tighten it down to the spring and then loosen it a hair is that correct because it sounds tight to me.
also that same guy said that u should be able to fit a folded piece of paper through the clutch bell and spur well if thats
true than i am screwed. well if you could tell me that would be great.[&:][&:][&:]

why are you screwed on the paper deal, cause you should be able to do that

The paper method is the easiest way to set your spur gear perfectly.

Both sets of advice sound correct. Its just that its for 2 different settings. The mesh between the spur gear and pinion gear can be set with a piece of paper. The slipper clutch should be set by tightening the adjuster nut till the spring is compress all the way, then backing off about a quarter turn.

My slipper is tightened all the way. Even loosening an 1/8th turn gave me melted spur gears.

i leave my slipper tight, i just remember to get off the gas when landing

I also tighten my slipper all the way. Just stay off the throttle, and brakes on landings. (Just like gamesbeer1 said)
