I have a bunch of #35 clutches and sprockets, I recently let go of a vintage frame and a acquired a new roller that came with a 31 tooth 40/41/410 sprocket.
A couple problems arose:
1: Gear ratio would be too low, requiring me to have to purchase a jackshaft kit and then go to my buddies house and use the welder(which....isnt gonna be safe because i recently welded a scrub brake on and uhhhhh yea)
and
2: The sprocket is so small that the chain would hit the scrub brake(no i didnt weld this one) bar type deal.
So, would it be nescessary to use a bigger size chain because i have a 4 hp engine or will a #35 work fine?
At what power levels do you need to begin to think about using a bigger size chain?
