Bought this old thing for $30
Ran into a problem when the stock chain didn't fit and I had to get a larger 420 chain because all the other stores didn't carry 415.
As it turns out the chain is too big for the back wheel and scrapes it in rides.
I'm thinking about replacing it with a bike chain as a last resort.. tell we what you guys think!
I wish i have a picture of it on the leftside, the 420 chain I've been using has been KILLING my back tire... and it's so huge it doesnt allow for back brakes... I'm stuck with switching to a bike chain.
UPDATE: tried popping a regular bike chain on it, but it instantly broke when I ran it
so far I've add a washer on the engine sprocket side to try to inch the chain away from the tire with no luck... I don't even think the original 415 chain it came with would make a difference. as I'm currently on a 420.. I'm thinking of installing a jackshaft kit on it, but that'll require me to rechain the pedal side with a beefer chain... ohh the decisions
