Sprocket Spacing?

[YetiWoodz]

I'm gonna weld on an adapter to mount my sprocket on my rear wheel. How much allowance is there if the sprocket isn't perfectly spaced out to meet inline with the engine sprocket? It'll likely be 1/8" - 3/16" past.

Test fit before ya weld it

If it's off, the motor sprocket will wear out one side of the chain, while the wheel sprocket will wear the other side .

Hope you have a really good spot welder.

Hope you have a really good spot welder.

I got a flux core wire feeder welder. Spot welds have held up pretty good. I can weld down to 24 gauge with it and up to 1/4". I'm gonna weld it to the outer hub wall which is almost 1/8" thick so I should be good.
