The problem with running a clutch that was designed as a dry clutch as a wet clutch is you need more clamping force to achieve the same result.I have never looked at a NOS wet clutch kit but if it has stronger springs in there you may just run into another problem.
Barnett and others make stronger clutch springs for these clutches.. once you start making more torque than a stock engine youu can have clutch problems
This has to do with the actuator mechanism in the sprocket cover. If you look at the worm assembly the two arms made out of thin steel which hold the end of the clutch cable your looking at the problem.
When you put stronger springs in there those two arms twist and bend. There are fixes (of course0 but you also need arms like Popey to pull in the clutch.
A well set up ironhead dry clutch is a very good clutch.
