when we engaged the cam chain tensioner I pressed the tensioner bar down further and locked it in place.xb33bsa said:why is that connector link bent ? press fit will be fine for race motor there is really zero loads trying to push the link apart while running
probably...The kart guys use a DID gold on gold 219 rivet and they are pushing twice the hp we are. If we are breaking stuff that may be a good thing or a bad. I would rev to 10k and then engine brake rev to 8k and engine brake rev to 9 k and engine brake rev it made it about a mile then broke.'Took it up to 310ish on the temp gage. Was a blast to ride! Running lean you could feel it was fuel starved...stutter... at high rpm...needs the 26mm carbs.simo said:I wonder if the steel tensioner wheel had anything to do with it?
we have a spare we will try tomorrow...no if I had been drinking I would have to pessxb33bsa said:you are pulling very,very little hp thru that chain maybe 1/2 hp, something went wrong to break it but not the chains or links fault
it was the plate that pesses on that broke ?
we cant read your mind have you bin drinkin' ?
