Yep glad it’s rideable again. I have another Briggs that I bought and the seller said it ran but needs carb…. Sure 👍 So I’ll take Biggs off and try that engine. Spike is getting so gabby in his old age. I guess he has his own fans now on the tube.
@@DIYWilly Sometimes I think there is no one single cause with chain problems. A slight misalignment at one point, a small bend at another, a little slop somewhere else. No one of them would cause an issue but when you add them up, it becomes a problem. Stacked tolerances I guess is the technical term.
The swap worked! Probably a combination of things. Good to see it on the road again. Our parrot 🦜 Fred heard Spike and started meowing 😂

Looks like that solved it. Seems like chain and sprocket issues can be a major pain sometimes.
Yep seems to have fixed it. It was a simple test ride. Haven’t really put the beans to it yet. I’m going to say that the drum was the bent part.

@WalkerSmallEnginePerformance Well said! Exactly 👍
