I searched the database and couldn't find exactly what I was looking for:
I'm building my first kit and I'm to the point of attaching the drive chain to the engine drive sprocket. Problem is, it was EXTREMELY resistant when I first started, so I removed the 3 screw-side plate, and managed to get the chain around the teeth - then I tried pulling the short end of the chain, now secured around the drive sprocket, and could barely get 3 more inches to pull through. Then the whole thing stopped completely. The drive sprocket is stopped completely, and no matter how hard I pull on that chain, the drive sprocket won't budge. I'm scared to try anything harder because I don't wanna break it. Please let me know if anybody's had similar issues / how to resolve this thing. The video showed it going through a lot easier :/
Thanks!
