I need to figure some sort of mount/brace to stop the motor from torqueing over. I get some chain skip when the motor goes into a hard sudden pull. It appears the motor wants to twist, giving enough slack in the chain to skip a tooth or two. So some sort of lateral brace that can be removed when ever I pull the motor is needed. I'm thinking towards some sort of turnbuckle thingy that can be adjusted. Some input. ideas and thoughts from the forum would be great!
And while I'm into it, i'm following X-bird's lead and converting those crappy swing arm pivot bushing to heims. The heims are already ordered. Hopefully I'll get my paws on them before the weekend.
I only get a few hours a week to spend on this project so the progress is slow. I'll post some pics when I got something to show.
