Longer drive chains?

Im just about done ( finally! ) with my first build ever but the drive chain is too small.


Suggestions? I've done the "search" and most recommend a tractor supply shop - problem is there isnt one for about 60miles.

Is there a chain offered by any vendors here that would match the 80cc china kit drive chain ? Thanks in advance
 
Have you tried Ace Hardware or a Grainger Supply? They carry #41 chain which is a good replacement for the kit supplied #415 chain. It is usually a better quality too. If you're set on using the kit style chain most of the vendors/sponsors here will have it. You'll be ahead if you also purchase a good quality chain breaker, or if you do like many, just grind off the pins and punch them out. To shorten a roller chain you'll need to remove two links to use a standard master link or one link if you use what is called an offset link. Hope this helps get you on the road.
