Last Night I installed my kit chain on a new Cheez HT engine and besides the chain hitting and actually binding bad on the sprocket cover (a easy fix) this is it is way worse, please read on... So I grind down the cover and actually removed a large section of the cover as it helps nothing seems to rid the binding....still binding bad...hmmm. I grind the clutch shaft raised area a ton also...still binding and rubbing in yet one more area, but where? So After examining closer there is almost 0 clearance between the front of the engine sprocket and the actual engine itself, a credit card will in no way fit to give you an Idea at how tight this is, but its not binding there, but is too close for comfort and feel it is very- very dangerous situation for future riding on this engine. Read on FYI ( I am using a CNC rear sprocket, a GT2 a frame and everything is lined up very perfectly from all 3 angles)
So eventually I find that engine sprocket side is also so close to the engine housing that the chain will not fit without grinding on the side of the engine on the side of the chain...wow, first I've seen that in 4 kits. So yes, I am pretty sure Cheez would take this engine back and exchange it, but I don't want to exchange with him as most likely Ill just get the same engine again from the same manufacture with the same casting defects. I will let him know of these 3 issues with this engine in morn. seems like someone is making copies of copies of copies will cause this type of shrinkage in castings. Anyhow...
-I just want to figure out how to fix it
. A shim or washer Under the engine sprocket to bring it out a bit away from the engine housing?
Has anyone else encountered the Chain rubbing on the actual engine casing side?
Love to hear some ideas, I have yet to remove a engine sprocket.
I can just let it rub and bind...YUCK
