It only lurches now and then. |
The chain tightening definitely smoothed out the power transfer to the wheel. I aligned my sprocket with the drive sprocket during the build; it also appears to be true - in the same plane as the drive sprocket. I'm hoping that as I get better at adjusting the throttle, the lurching will diminish.
Funniest thing: I was taking great care during the initial start-up but forgot to turn on the switch (I installed an on/off switch on the black wire to the CDI). I pedaled like crazy... fuel on and showing flow... no luck with a start!!! Took me several attempts to figure out that the switch was in the off position. I have to laugh at myself... being so excited by the start-up and forgetting to turn it on! Feeling like a kid.
