This Road Master is older But has been running strong for 9yrs. Wore out 2 rear sprockets but the same rag joint (still being used) has never given ma any problem. I forget if spokes are 12 or 11 gauge. The centrifugal clutch is also original and has mucho miles on it!

This Road Master is older But has been running strong for 9yrs. Wore out 2 rear sprockets but the same rag joint (still being used) has never given ma any problem. I forget if spokes are 12 or 11 gauge. The centrifugal clutch is also original and has mucho miles on it!
Ok so I gave up on using the other style hub and sprocket. I found out that the rear wheel hub I was trying to put rag joint on was to big, go figure, my luck. So I took a wheel that I had with a smaller hub and was able to put the rag joint and sprocket on. Now the next problem I ran into was centering the sprocket, darned if I can get it centered, any tricks, idea's as what the heck to do now, what a can of worms this has turned out to be. I was hoping to make it a fun thing to do. Spend my leisure time. Duh!
It has been a nightmare.]

I can go till the tank is empty!
Actually on that small tank, I go about 20 Mi. I ride the same 20 Mi route each day and have never run out of fuel. However I always carry a 16 oz spare fuel container, which I have never needed.
I mostly use belt drives on my builds. When I use a sprocket I put the axle in the vise, sprocket side up. Then clamp a bent coat hanger between two axle nuts as a pointer. This is used to both center & true the sprocket / rag joint.
