End result?!...............and thanks.........
Thanks for your input,
Went to the local bike shop and asked about the #410 bmx chain, he opened up his bicycle catalog and couldn't find it. We are not sure what a #410 bmx chain is and would it fit on the standard sprocket spur/pinion combination that came with the kit? Does it go by any other name than a #410 bmx chain?
Thanks for the second suggestion, we already too have washers on the hub bolts as well to add clearance.
The bicycle tube started coming out of the sidewall so i had to act fast. I decided to grab a set of decent 26 X 1.75 tires that are medium quality. I wish I could have found some that were heavy duty, but i searched and scoured local shops to no avail.
Turns out that the 26 X 1.75 gave me a huge amount of clearance, I probably could have made it with some 26 x 1.90's
I ride this thing around and i always get stopped, by people asking me questions, about the kit and how they can do it. It seems like i have at least 2-3 people that stop and have to ask me questions everyday.
It is the first thing/vehicle i have ever owned that turns heads.
Anyhow, Next problem is that im still in the break in cycle, only running the bike 15mph or less for 300miles. I have 150 miles to go, but the engine still seems sluggish, and lacks power.
I had a honda aero 80 when i was a kid, and it was a 4 stroke 80cc and this is a 2 stroke 80/66cc. This thing should eat the 4 stroke, but it doesn't. It has no torque or holeshot punch like a 2 stroke should.
It sounds like a champ when there is no load on the engine ( when the clutch lever is pulled in) it revs well and sounds very fluid, like it is a tiger ready to leap on a gazelle. However when it is time to get up and go, and put the wheel in motion, she is a slug. She turns in to ole betsy, and needs a slap in the ***. Not sure what to do next to increase torque/power. I already put a new NGK spark plug in her, and tightened the cylinder head bolts, so she wouldn't blow a head gasket. It just seems like she is not developing the power that my last engine did(It blew though) I don't think this thing would go over 20 mph if i floored it.
Not sure what the problem is.
Any suggestions would be very helpful, or if you could let me know if it takes 300 miles for my Ole Betsy to turn in to a Cougar(demi moore would be nice), i would appreciate it.
Thanks again for your input and ideas.
