The 350 uses a 7/8th input shaft. Did you set that one up to accomodate the wider belts that most sleds use? I retained the comet 790 driven when I added the polaris sled motors. The sled drive clutch was set up for a 1 3/8 belt vs the 1 1/16 that the ody set up used. Threw the clutching way off out of the hole. To fix this I removed the helix and machined the backside of it, then made a shim that was the same thickness as the material I removed from the backside of the helix. This shim fits between the two pully faces and has an interference fit so it doesn't slide around when the clutch is shifted out. This allows for the wider belt and full travel of the slippers on the helix. Where were you able to find your clutch? I've only found HRD to be able to get them.
I got my driven from sledpartsguy was selling them new with a buy it now of $169.99

I left it setup for the stock width 350 belt.
In the pic is the blue marker I put on the clutch when new you can see how low it was running.
The black belt slip mark you see (pink arrow) I assume is just that when the belt was covered with oil from the trans, the rest of the trip I would unload the Pilot from the bus and push it around out of the way then push it back to the ramps and start it and drive it into the bus..
The blue arrow points to where the two pulleys touch when closed, I assume its dirt and sand smashed between the two.
