Re: chain ridding up and off sprocket problem...
It sounds like your back-and-forth spacing between sprockets is off a bit. Take the chain off and put the edge of a ruler on one face of the sprocket, pointed towards the mating pinion. You should be able to see really quickly if the sprockets are inline or not if the flat edge of the ruler doesn't touch the face of the pinion sprocket. If they aren't, you need to move the sprocket on the shaft to line up with it's pinion.
