I have added manic mechanic sprocket adapter tp my motorized bike.All web sites say I must use a 415 chain so I ordered one it does not fit the sprocket correctly and it scrapes the front edge of clutch actuator cover, So my question is what size chain will fit both the sprocket and inside cover?
I have chain / sprocket adapter problems

Who did you buy the adapter from? Where did you get the chain? #415 chain should not interfer with the engine case unless the angle of the engine is extreme. Where is the chain hitting the engine case?
As for the chain not fitting the sprocket, I'd contact whoever you bought the sprocket from and question them about that problem. #415 or #41 chain should work if they sent you the right sprocket.
Are you sure you got #415 chain?

It is hitting the front edge where there clutch actuator cover meets the magneto cover.so is a 41 size between the size that comeswith stock kit and 415.I have more than one motorized bike and chains one that I running the rag joint and stock sprocket seems to be one size I have one chain that seems to work and is in between the stock and the 415. IT black not silver like the 415 ! It came on a bike I bought as parts bike that some had trashed the motor but as said can't figure our what size it is
Hitting there is really common and most people don't even know
it did as the chain will grind it's own clearance.
The masterlink is usually what hits as the removeable plate is not
figure 8 shaped.
Just grind away the aluminum on the cover/ case were it is hitting.
415 chain is 3/16" between the side plates.
41 chain is 1/4" between the side plates.
No, not that I know of.
Some of the Chinese "415" kit chains are undersized and less than 3/16"

Here's an old thread about the chain hitting the inside of the clutch actuator cover.

Have no idea. You'd have to buy it and experiment. My advice is to get #41 industrial roller chain and never have to worry about it again.

How does this #41 differ from the stock chain? (looks the same) is it just a better material?
this is what happened to my chain after my first start (yesterday)
1st break:
fixed it and then broke again 30 seconds into the next start

The standard 415 chain is 3/16" between the plates.
41 chain is 1/4" between the plates.
The kmc chain will not work.even though it is a 415 chain. It is designated as a 415h. The plates are a different size than normal. I tried one and it won't work. Spooky tooth has a 415 that works fine. And only 15 bucks to boot.
Do you remember which KMC you were using? Was it the K910 BMX Specific Chain - dimensions 1/2" x 3/16" x 98L
