After breaking my HP carb because I suck, I reassembled my 40 and decided to pause working on cars and take a day to get it road worthy again. I had to buy a Dark Soul chain breaker and black magic front sprocket from DDM because my ped has a horrible problem with eating chains alive. After today though, I believe I know why. Upon further inspection, it appears my clutch bell is unbalanced and the clutch bell bearing is shot.
So here is my predicament: I am going riding in a friend's neighborhood in a few days. It won't be hard riding so I think I can make it through a few hours without killing a chain. Do you think the bell and bearing have been eating through my chains? The front and rear sprockets are lined up and they both seem relatively well balanced. I am using cheap ebay chain but I know that it would last longer than a few days of riding on another ped. I don't see any contributing factors other than previously mentioned. I will replace the clutch bell and bearing as soon as I can but I would like to know if that is the problem.
Thank you for reading and I appreciate any replies.
P.S. sorry for not contributing to the forums with all these questions. Oh and is PMW really going bankrupt?
