Hi people. Doing my 1st install and have some questions maybe someone knows the answers?
1. What size chain do you run on the engine to jackshaft sprocket?
I'm trying to use 415 from the engine kit, It looks like its going to rub the jackshaft plate. The engine sprocket wont accept 410 bmx chain, my guess the sprocket to wide? if using 415 do you use extra washers to space the jackshaft sprocket further to the outside?
2. Can you use a 1/2 link on the engine to jackshaft that has a tiny cotter pin without that link failing?
3. What size sprocket do you have on the engine output? Mine has 10 teeth, my engine to jackshaft chain wouldn't fit with any combo of the included shims. After days scratching my head I milled the spacer down from 1/2 to about 3/8, took me about 3 hours last night with a piece of glass and sandpaper and now I have no problems fitting it, has anyone else had to do that?
This is where I am at in my install as of tonight. I am taking my time trying to get it right the first time. This is my first motor bike too so the engine is brand new also.
