Excellent description Reveen. I understand the clutch principle from studying torque converters, and variator weights have a similar effect to distributor weights but I hadn't thought of modifying the Take-Up Spring. That would be useful in hill climbing; once you back off the throttle, it's difficult to regain momentum uphill. 8O
