 Re: somebody build me
Okay I reset the motor since I had done that earlier as part of the bike check up a month ago. I tightened the wheel's axle it was loose, I changed out the knobby tire that was split, I didn't know. At this time I can get about a block before it throws the chain. I tightened and loosened the chain, I added more spacers and removed all the spacers one at a time. I got a less than a block. The only thing I didn't do is to change out the rear wheel. It is possible that the wheel got bent from running it with a loose axle. I'm going to do that tomorrow. I have decided to go to the full 24inch wheel. If I had a 24 I would go there instead.
The bike will more difficult to mount and dismount but it will still be pedal friendly so thats a good thing. I'm going to have to redo the bike chain again I think. It is a pain in the butt but I added links so that I could get the motor chain really tight. That didn't help. I REFUSE to put the tension back on the motor side. If changing out the wheel doesn't do it, someone else will own the engine next week.
I have some serious e bike parts coming in this week so i have to work on that as well.
I have given up on a friction drive. I decided the compression on the engine is too great to start with a friction drive. I would need a pull start which is just more money down the proverbial rat hole. I think Gasoline and deacons don't mix. |
