hello, im building my first bike and i have a question or two about my chains...
the chain that my engine kit came with would fit my bike if only i could move the back tire back an inch but have a slight slack to it. which i could do but the other regular bike chain is too short for that. it would also then be as far back as the tire could reach. at this point which would be better? cutting the bigger/thicker chain or getting a new longer bicycle chain? also just how much slack should the chain running to the engine have? even with the idler pulley its still way too loose.
heck while im at it...
just out of curiosity and for the sake of knowing, at what point do you know when you should open the clutch casing and adjust it in there?
thanks!
