Hi everyone,
The plastic tie is the new motor stabilizer [joke]. The support will be tilted and made from different metal. Isn't it amazing the chain stays on considering it is so loose, guess using the better grade and larger chain has its advantages.
Mountainman....... I only covered it with the guard to keep the moving parts from attacking my body parts. The "Q" matic is using a MaxTorque clutch suspended from both ends of the shaft and anyone can purchase a similar clutch, make the special mounting plate, fabricate the bearing support brackets, figure the correct idler spring pressure, make the custom idler, purchase the high speed bearings, attach to a 49 CC 4 stroke motor, and purchase special spring & weights for the clutch.
I also noticed several other vendors producing drive systems, but don't show the insides of the drive, why not ask them why they don't share all the information?
Have fun,
