Hey guys,
I'm getting close to getting my first build complete but am having problems with the chain for the engine.
Basically what I'm seeing is that the chain "skips". I've been testing it by trying to ride the bike with the clutch depressed (trying to make sure it works fine as a bicycle before worrying about actually starting the engine up).
As I'm riding the chain will make a loud noise fairly often. From turning the bike over and spinning the wheels I can see it's because when the chain goes through the engine's sprocket, occasionally the hole in the chain isn't quite aligned with the tooth of the sprocket, causing it to jump a bit.
I tried removing the wheel sprocket and putting some duct tape around the wheel hub to fill the extra room and to eliminate any possible play to make sure the sprocket was exactly in the center and not uneven, but I'm still seeing the issue.
Any other thoughts on how I can debug this?
Thanks
