I know alot of poeple set it up to idle, but I like the push the padel and go setup. Advise anyone?
There are other clutches that will work for the 1" like the 94C. For lower (less than 4500) RPM's this could be set up to work just fine for less $$. The 780 is a great clutch though. The "7" in your engine model designates an electric start version with an alternator which normally "deletes" the need for the old starter/ generator. Honestly this is what most want in a BB engine. Extend the B/S wiring harness and use the key to start and stop, being careful from now on to know if you are F/N/R. I think you can also wire the micro in the F/N/R to only allow a start in neutral for safety purposes!
