Rump Rump Rump goes the chain

[Bill Snow]

No more rump rump. I used the information presented on this frorum to do a closer check and make some changes.

1. I did the same thing, chain tensioner too tight and not turning. Corrected.

2. Made sure chain is correct and fitting well into both sprockets. The fit is good

3. I again checked the intake gasket as suggested. When I installed the engine the gasket supplied was too thin to seal good so I had made a new one and it is still sealingl.

4. I did fine the rear sprocket was not centered as well as I thought it was. I recentered it and almost on the button, but still do not think it is perfect. I did as suggested and made sure the chain is not too tight. I received two rear sprockets from the dealer and used the larger one because of the hills around here. I was surprised at the power this little engine has, so later I think I'll change to the smaller sprocket and see if I can do a better job on centering it.

In spite of not having the sprocket centered perfect it is doing very good. After making the above changes the drive sounds just fine and runs smooth.

Well, by now you probably know I appreciate the help.

Thanks and Best Regards
