Popping while turning

[gokorn1]

Im posting for a buddy who just bought a 2009 Gas Mudd Ox.
The problem we are having is that when were are turning tight circles the left side chain pops. It is not was tight as the right side. So we adjusted the tensioner and it will just push it back up.

Just wonder what else could be the problem

When you where tighting the chain was the tires off the ground? What chain is it 1st, 2nd or 3rd ? If you didn't have the tires off the ground you can't get the chain tight. Hope this helps. Cougar

Yes the tires were off the ground and its the chain that links the front tires to the rest

gokorn1 I sent you a PM. Thanks Cougar

You might have a bearing out, giving it slack and allowing the chain to jump

You might just try calling Matt at Mudd-Ox and ask him. He designed it and is probably your best resource for repairs and upkeep. Im sure he will be happy to help :-)

My 2010 Diesel was doing the same thing on the right side,, it turns out that the bearing in the drive chain tightener was bad. It is easy to check,, just find the masterlink and disconnect the chain once you have loosened the tightener,, the tightener will slide off the adjuster bolt.

The 2010 version has a different chain tensioning system then the 09 gas model.

I was wondering if that fixed the problem as mine is doing the very same thing!! Where is the best place to buy replacment chains?
