Re: pic: Kit Transmission Upgrade kit

It's true that we listed a plastic spacer on our instructions, while sending washers as a replacement. We have changed our documentation being sent with these upgrade kits to reflect this change, as we have received 1 email about this issue also. I apologize that our documentation had this error. The one thing I would like to have better with this kit is the tightness of the "D" holed, 28-tooth gear. These gears are being broached to be a very snug fit on the D shaft of the Mini-Bike motor. If the motor's shaft is marred slightly (by beating on the shaft to get the manufacturers' gear off... or by the manufacturer's gear set screw), then our 28-tooth gear needs to be pressed on firmly. I suggest 2 things to help this situation: 1. Use a scotch-brite pad or a very light sandpaper piece to clean up the Mini-Bike motor shaft before adding on the 28-tooth gear. 2. Heat up the gear to expand its hole before putting it onto the motor shaft. These two steps should help facilitate this installation. I will add these to our documentation also. Andy B. |

Re: pic: Kit Transmission Upgrade kit
ahh..this might be random. but nonetheless important.
for the large cim motor, aka: bike motor, are we allowed to take out the gears and the springs that are already attached? b/c we are planning on using the output shaft directly connected to a coupling...and so on... so again...are we allowed to take out the springs and the black gear thing..?? if so..HOW CAN I? i tried to pull it out..it's pretty much impossible. |

Do a search for the thread about removing the pulley. The short answer is you need some sort of gear pulling device, and a heat gun/blowtorch with which to heat up the gear (due to the adhesive used on the shaft). |
