Engine Swap, Chain Strength
SO... mr thatsdax's carburator screwed up my motor on my bike with a jackshaft kit on it... Carb wouldn't idle, kept trying to fix, then bam something wrong loud noises... Got a motor, swapping out motors with a jackshaft kit is such a hassle... anyways, trying to upgrade the 410 chain that came with the jackshaft kit. Any opinions? Has anyone tried half link chains? or 510hx chain? what do you guys run.?

Re: Engine Swap, Chain Strength
You can run a 41 in place of the 410.

Re: Engine Swap, Chain Strength
Just curious how a carburetor "screwed up" your engine.

Re: Engine Swap, Chain Strength
Did you check to see if the plug is white/melted? Otherwise I highly doubt its the carb. These engines like to do that at completely random times.

and this is why you TUNE the carb to the motor
can't blame the carb because the builder didn't tune it right
