OK guys, ran into another problem. Need some help.

Been having a constant problem with my left side pedal rubbing the side of the engine where my spring chain tensioner mounts to the clutch cover.
I've tried everything I can think of to no avail. Tried adjustng the motor in the frame numerous times.... didn't help. Tried adjusting the motor up, down, to the right.... still no luck. I know you can get those wide crank pedals for using the 4 stroke kits. I'd like to get wider pedals that will fit a cruiser frame. Can someone maybe provide a link or a place I can get them?

This is what Tom said on your other post... You need some basic metal fabrication tools (or a neighbor that can help) if you want to continue in this hobby.

Either file down the inside of the clutch cover & bucking bar; or remove the cheesy spring tensioner (& install the kit tensioner), or file down the inside of the crank arm... (or find a neighbor with skills & tools who can help).

Only problem is I don’t have any neighbors that live near me. I live in a spread out neighborhood so I wound up just buying some extended crank arm pedals off of Amazon just waiting for them to arrive.

Change the cranks to something wider or What you can do is grind a slight groove into the back of the crank arm and find sone quality steel bolts that fit and slightly lower them by grinding them down if you're lucky you'll have enough room to shave the two down and get it to work. Orrr heat the crank arm up with a torch and slightly bend it out just s tad,,, if their one piece.

Hey guys, just wanted to post a quick update. So went to my local bike shop to buy a crank puller tool, and was able to remove the crank arm, bought and installed a wide crank set from Amazon. For now just installed the left side crank since it fit perfectly in the crank set already in the bike. Planning to install the rest of it, just need to buy another tool to get the rest of it apart. But now I have 2.5 inches of clearance on the left. So for now, problem fixed.
