So I've thrown all my parts together, and I just need gas and I can fire this engine up.
Tonight I've been playing around with free wheeling... My clutch is responsive enough... But when I disengage the clutch to free wheel I get considerable chain rattling... Almost sounds like a running engine. I've been playing with tension and it doesn't seem to make a difference. Chain also hasn't been getting caught.
The wheel doesn't turn nearly as well as it used to... Which I should have expected.
But I can't help but feel that it shouldn't rattle this badly.... Like the chain is rubbing against the housing.
So question:
This is the stock chain, does that have something to do with it?
It's a brand new kit, does the drive sprocket need to just be worn through use?
Is my rear sprocket un aligned? It looks good to the naked eye...
