Can anyone suggest a chain drive kit that will fix this chain drive problem?

Hey Birdmann,
Have you ever been on the Stanto Inc web site? This guy has EVERYTHING. For this problem you might think about clamping a plate to the rear of your seat tube and attaching some of these: http://www.staton-inc.com/store/products/Bearing_Pillow_Block_UCP202_or_204_10_5_8_ID-11-1.html
Attach two gears to a 5/8" shaft (the same size as your gearbox output gear), slide the left one to align with the gearbox side and the right one aligned to the rear sproket.
Whaddaya think?

You are definitely right about that. He even sells Pecans.
No idea what use they would have in a motorized bicycle application, but i'm thinking they might be used to quieten the bottom end, or to restore the piston to bore clearance back to manufacturers specifications by throwing a couple of dozen down the intake port.

That's a good idea Barry... I'll have to look into that.
 
Darwin, I am using a 1E40F-5 Brush Cutter engine off of a mini chopper. It was taken apart by the previous owner and handed to me in a box with all the parts. It is funny that they call this a 49cc engine because when I re-built it I found out that it was a 32cc engine. Bought a new 49cc piston, rings, bearings, gaskets and the cylinder head for $48 including shipping. Now it runs great. Has a pull starter, electric starter and centrifugal clutch. If I could figure out how to adjust the clutch to stop turning while the engine is idling I would be happy. Here is a picture of the engine.

How wide is the engine ? Could you offset it ? Take a look at some choppers, most have an inch or two of offset, yet they track true,
the trick is alignment. Consider using a low buck lazer beam to check alignment. Us old schoolers use taught string .
 
The engine is 12 inches wide. I don't know how far I could offset it and still track true. I guess that the jackshaft is more for gearing to the right side, not compensating for an offset.
