Having a funny smell from my clutch/engine after cruising on my baja bug with a 6.5 clone in it. Got the mounting kit from Chris, and installed everything per instructions. The only thing I am concerned about is the part where you line the engine up with the rear tire so "no chain binding occurs". The chain doesn't "bind", as in the wheel locks up, but it sure doesn't spin as well as my motorcycle rear tire does (1200 bandit) when the rear tire is spun off the ground. The chain slack is about 1/2"-3/4", which is where it should be. And the bike idles fine without engaging the clutch. How well should the tire spin when it is lined up correctly? Should it be spinning freely like a bike tire does?? I'm sure there is a certain amount of friction involved where it won't spin like a bike tire.... I can upload a video on you tube of my wheel spinning with the chain on if that would help diagnose my "problem"....
I tried moving the engine around to get it to spin perfectly free and it seemed impossible. I also am going to mod or remove the chain guard, and it looks like the chain is slapping against it a bit. The marks on the chain guard show the chain is not moving straight with the chain guard, but when looking down the chain, it looks "relatively" straight....
Thanks!
