Thanks, Ric. I was planning on giving Pudge (Pete Tyer) a call since he’s the one who rebuilt it for me… If I can’t get it straight, I’ll txt you. Appreciate the quick answer.
You don’t need anything else in the hole with the tungsten. The gap is not as great as you describe, but in either case it doesn’t matter, because there’s isn’t enough room between the weights and the speed collar for it to come out, and the gap narrows as the weight goes up the ramp. In other words … don’t worry about it. ;-)
Run them any way you want – one weight, two weights, or no weights. However you must run each primary weight with the same amount of weight (inserts) in it as all the others, or yes, you will be out of balance and would get uneven pressure on the friction discs. And obviously you cannot remove the primary weights, otherwise you will be going nowhere fast.
