sorry for late reply - I got the chain from blackwoods. (blackwoods.com.au)

ok thanks for all the help.

It's definitely running on 2 cylinders. although yes - it sounded pretty good on one !!! ;)

It seems to turn easier in low-range, I'm assuming that's just because...

Thanks for all the advice guys.

I will try and do an RPM check with a tacho if I can borrow one.

I tried WOT in neutral, and heard a clanking sound and metal shavings!!!! flying off the primary...

Hi Guys,

I'm looking for some advice, as my Conquest doesn't seem to be turning very well on grass, either from a stand still or when moving.

some background -
The brake cooling fan is...

Yes no doubt, I am still yet to measure the centres.

I really don't want to pull to pull the engine back out... :)

Right so...

power-pack frame definitely twisted/bent

Was finally able to get the left idler chain installed at the correct length, but at the cost of now not being able to front power pack bolt...

ok great - thanks Jim.

that may save me a lot of trouble.

Thanks for all the suggestions Jim.

The powerpack seems to be jammed in tight.

No amount of wiggling, pushing, dropping, taping, bashing or swearing seems to want to make it budge.

It's...

OK so - pretty sure the power pack frame is bent.

If you take a look at these photos...

You can see that the right hand side of the power pack frame is canted to the right.

Look where the...

Im pretty sure the jackshaft bearing retainer bolts won't foul on the power pack, but I'll have a feel under there and see.

I dropped it back down with some force, enough to seat it properly I...

ok so here are the pics as promised...

The first one is a front on shot of the two idle adjusters. You can see the difference in the heights if you look at the distance between the bolt and the...

the power pack is sitting up a little bit on the left side. about 3mm

i will take some pics this arvo.

yes, sorry it's a conquest

all of the powerback nuts are loose, and the two idler chain tensioners are bottomed out (i.e. there is no chain tension at all)

this is why it's so baffling as to...

I counted the pins, I never had the old chains to compare them too anyhow.

it's the exact same length at the left one.

I am doing it with the wheels on the ground though?

How would I add...

Hi Hubcap - I'm from AUS as well.

You got that argo for a steal!!! mine was in pieces and I paid $1800 for it. I had to drive from Sydney to Lismore to get it as well :)

make sure when you fix...

Hi guys,

I'm having some trouble getting one of my idler chains on.

The right one (as you are sitting in it) went on easy enough,

But for the life of me - I can't get the left one in.

The...

I think I'm just going to use it as is for a little while.

I don't have the luxury of time to pull the tranny and re-build it.

No sure if the input shaft can be -re-machined or anything - just...

If you want the dimensions of the rear seat pan(s) - let me know.

have just cut two new ones - traced from the originals.

OK - So I got the driven clutch back together.

There was still a little play in the bush, probably about 2mm movement when I rocked the wheel back an forth on the shaft.
- So I guess I need to...
