As for the Rapid Response clutch, not many people on here have used them. They just aren't as popular, probably because of cost and size.

On the other hand, tons of people here have used the 780 with great success.
Slonomo, I still have the rapid advance clutch I bought from you a few years ago. My 780 went out on my G2 yamaha and I could not get it on my motor unless I pulled the motor. I was lazy and bought a new 780. I have 3 other v twin carts I might try to put it in, really nice clutch.

I'm thinking you might have me mixed up with someone else, I've never had a Rapid Response. I've sold a Duster 94c, a Duster style G1 clutch, but no Rapid Response.

With that said, the 780 is not heavy duty like the Rapid Response is, but it's smaller, thinner, and lighter, and works well on just about any 4 stroke up to 20hp. I did have one on my 23hp Vanguard, but it was stock and it wasn't on there long.

so i rolled the cart out of the shed yesterday so i could get a few things out. I couldn't get it back up the ramp without driving it later that evening, so I put the clutch back on clutch and the new belt to just to get it back up ramp and i just nailed the gas & the front tires came off the ground like it used too lol .

Soooo i took it for a run down the street, never slipped once. So strange, however i did just get finished smacking the clutch with a rubber mallet the night before, I just that was the fix I would still like to upgrade my clutch for a HD one for the long run & better hole shot when needed

If you're clutch is not giving you wheelies, you don't need a better holeshot That's as good as it gets.

So I wonder if something inside the clutch was stuck?

i could hear something inside the clutch rattling, not sure if a weight was stuck but it runs like a raped date so i'm not gonna mess with it until it gives me issues again.
