Hi Charlie,
 
That is an interesting drive, but mostly for the clutch.   Funny thing is that I almost bought a clutch for my Rotax 582, in order to yank start the thing without worrying about it running away from me before I could get in the gyro.  In the end, I just ordered an electric starter, but I was wondering if the clutch would help with the low rpm shakes that the single rotor has. 
 
Just today, I got a new damper for my current Autoflight drive.  It's made by Centa, and only comes in two hardness's.  I had the hardest one (shore 60) originally, and just got the only other choice (shore 50).  It will be interesting to see how much difference it makes, but I haven't gotten around to fixing my intake yet. 
 
Rusty
