Well friend and I installed the kit yesterday, had very few problems during the install biggest issue was the frame diameter of my bike was too large and not a cylindrical shape, resolved that by bolt a bracket to the frame and bolting the engine to the bracket. well then when i was ready to start it up i had issues with the tensioner it was not tight enuff, the diameter of my frame where the tensioner is mounted was not large enough diameter, so i fixed that. Then the tensioner kept "coming off track" would not stay "true" it would get very wobbly just the part where the chain rode on it.
So i bought an engine idler (sp?) it just a slight bigger version of the tensioner that has a bearing inside of it so it spins freely. seemed to fix the problems i was having with the chain.
Then when was attempting to start it the chain broke. Lost the master link, and of course it was late enough in the day that a replacement could not be located.
Questions:
How hard is the engine to start? what is the sequence i should use?
any thoughts and how my chain broke?
thanks
