  • T-20 output sprocket "kicked"

    Ok, for some reason I did not notice this when I put the seal kit on the T-20, but last night I was doing the final adjustment on my chain tensioners and noticed that my right output sprocket is not on straight. it is not real bad, but is noticeable. The chain works fine, but I'm worried that it will be weaker. How this happened I have no idea....

    Ok, since Marengo is next weekend, what does the brain trust recommend? Is that a press fit on the sprocket? If I need to replace it I guess I could have RI overnight something. Anyways...just worried and don't want to break down.
    Hammers should have warning labels.

    Scott,
    Snap a picture and post it if you can, it sounds like the sprocket has shifted on the shaft. The factory knurled the T-20 output shaft and sprocket and pressed the sprocket on, so it should not move unless the sprocket knurl is worn out, or in my case, too much torque. If it is not a tight fit, you might run the risk of the sprocket breaking loose under stress. It is an easy and inexpensive fix to TIG weld it, but unfortunately, the shaft has to be removed from the t-20.
