Glad to hear you got it running. What part of Alberta are you in?
A skidplate under the rear axle is mandatory to protect the rotor and the chain. Along with a performance muffler, a performance CDI and some bigger jets will wake it up.
The front sprocket is supposed to be loose on a Honda type engine. It allows for minor chain / rear sprocket misalignment. If you remove it, you'll see how it's machined that way on purpose. The chain rube against the cover? That's a new one. There should be lots of clearance in there. Got pics?
