spring cleaning

fat-fingered typo (I understand...get back with ya)

I uinderstand completely..I'll have to do some checkingHmmm..I believe that they are around a 32 tooth sprocket...I'll see what I got...

The 980s use a stock 50 tooth (I think it's 50...52 perhaps) sprocket. It's half the size of a frisbee. I'm just basically looking for anything lower than that. Somewhere in the 36 range would be good for the first sprocket after the T-20. This will bring me down close to a stock Max IV gearing, which has plenty of low-end grunt and plenty of top-speed. I'll have to check what the secondary sprockets are, but I'm thinking they're in the realm of 22. I'll have to check and get back with you.

I can always just cut the big sprockets off and replace them with something smaller, but if a good set is already out there, it would save me from making a commitment to sticking with them, or having to make up a whole other set.

Thanks,

count the teeth on your cluster gear and let me know what ya got, and I'll let ya know what I have. we had to change the sprocket on mudballers..he went from a 2 to a 4 stroker..speed was apr 10mph...

I have the 18 Horse Briggs flat-twin. The 980 is currently geared for about 10mph bouncing off its 3600 rpm redline. I don't need it to fly, but man, 18mph sure sounds good.

on another note...you should have seen that mess with the max's in there...still have two more 950's in the shop, works in progress.. wish I could send one to whipper for a springer set...

[fasteddiesllc]

that's the story of my life...always too far away...ashtabula..11 hrs 1 way...what's in your 980 2 or 4 stroker??

Wow, Eddie.... That's a bunch of Hustlers!

I'd love to take a 950 project off of your hands if you weren't so far away. Do you have a spare pair of center sprocket tubes from a 950 by chance? I'd like to see how the 980 responds to a more reasonable gearing change.
