Your so right Geo, Thats the next step that I have to do before trying to fire it up. The problem I ran into was Im touching the top of the motor and the top of my motor mount I welded in with the chain. I was trying to do it without one and after repositioning the motor I started touching. Ive rode it around the block a bit pedaling to test it and its like you dont even notice the offset. I think Im going to have to build some guide sprockets for both sides of the crank to make sure when it goes through the gears it goes through them and not me. But the main thing is going to be chain control on both sides of the crank and I should be fine. Thinking about a 1/8 inch flat plate behind the crank and mount the sprokets then make it look pretty after I make it run good. Just going to make it work then Im going to strip it and find an old barn some where and hide it there. lol
Later
Terry
