Front sprokets on Magnum 8

[glenhinnisdal]

Hi guys
Am I right in thinking that there is no set screw on the front sproket and that it runs free on the axle ?,presumably because of the short chain lenght

I read an argo service manual that said alll models did not use set screws on front axles.

If anyone tries to use a set screw in the models that have a locating hole in the axle, better check that the sprockets are aligned. I tried it once and they did not align. (front axle to countershaft)

No set screw in the front is correct. They float.

Thanks for the info, th dealer told me there wasnt a set screw,but the guy I bought it from had put one in and it just didnt look right.

I'm pretty sure i read that the idler floats, and the front is set screwed. Maybe i'm getting that backwards tho hahah.

EDIT:

I checked to make sure:
Photo WA-123 (All front drive sprockets are floaters and do not require the set screw.)

And the idler sprockets float within the retaining rings.

Until last week I would have scratched my head wondering what you were talking about. I found a 60 meg .pdf online manual that goes from 1992 up until recently. There's a lot of different shafts and sprocket combo's, along with the retaining rings on late models, even on bigfoot/response/conquest I didn't know about.

Also it mentioned wider axle spacing on late model conquest/maybe response but no details.

The manual only goes back to 1992, is that early enough?

[glenhinnisdal]

Its near enough. Very diufficult to find workshop manuals etc

This is an argo dealer's web site. I don't know how he would feel about a public link to his big files. If you guys need a manual, PM me and I'll send you a link. Robin I sent you a PM.

Funny thing about that, there's an Argo dealer in the states, that has tons of manuals free to download

This russian site has a 77 to 94 parts manual, as well as a lot more.
