The first pic shows the adjustment. It pulls the rear of the engine up and down. Somewhat of a T-bolt that mounts to the rear engine mounts. I think the rear of the engine needs to shift to the left about 1/16 to 1/8 inch.

Do you really need two drive chains? Perhaps you can move the outer, counter shaft sprocket closer to the engine a bit, and just use one drive chain on both outer sprockets?

Spud, I have been thinking the same thing. One #50 chain should be strong enough for the job.

I bet one drive chain will work just fine, especially at lower speeds. In any event, it's certainly worth a try.

Consider it your first performance mod. Less rotating weight.

I don't know why they used a double row chain. Not that much power being made.

I was thinking the same thing. A lot of rotating mass for 150cc.

After I get the sprockets lined up I think that I will buy some single #50 chain.

Last night we installed the new yellow clutch springs, belt, and the variator with 8 gram sliders. Took it out for some after dark testing. CVT works much better.

Today we modified the chain adjuster/mount. I cut off an 1/8 inch of material so that the rear of the engine could move over. This helped alot. I think I need to take alittle bit more.

Pictures and video on the way.

We have put about a total of an hour run time. About 3/4 gallon of gas used.

Pics of the new yellow 1500rpm torque and clutch springs. The exhaust mount that lost the nut on the inside of the cover. I used the impact to tighten it back up. Emilie with her helmet.

Thanks for the update, Allen! Emilie's helmet matches her outfit, and totally befits a beautiful young lady.

Did you get Emilie's helmet at Target? I know they sell helmets.

I found the helmet on ebay. Lightly used fulmer helmet. It has to be pink.
