I don't understand how the two pulley twist thing makes a difference. If you have a touchy clutch, don't you just need to change the pedal to clutch ratio?
I can see how the two pulley thingy would be easier to set up because you just rotate it more to take out more slack, but ultimately I don't see the difference.
Can you explain?

Wish I would have taken a picture of the "opperating" one pulley system I had before switching...
I am not saying the two pulley is "better than" a one pulley system, but
in my particular case...(short distance between engine & trans pulley, short belt and short throw on pedal) it was more "effecient" to take up the slack with two pulley "twist" than to try to leverage the longer throw of the one pully setup...
IE: 1" of throw on pedal needed to be 2" of throw on the one pulley to take up slack...movement was "amplified"...(touchy)
With this two pulley system..1" of pedal throw =1" of pully movement but with two pulleys "twisting" I get 2" of slack taken up...and pedal
"feels" twice as forgiving...
...don't you just need to change the pedal to clutch ratio? ...
Yes ..and No...
It's all about applied leverage..within the confines of (my) fixed parameters...Meaning, I could not change the "ratio" with out changing the system..I also have limiting factors on available pedal throw in that I prefer the short throw pedal, and do not want to have to move my foot 4"-5" just to get the clutch to work right...
On some other system/mowchine with a longer belt layout, more pedal movement available, or less slack required for engage/disengagement, a single pulley system can work just fine...
