  1. Ok so what am i doing wrong here?! i only took it off for a closer look at it.. the sprocket moves about 2 or 3 mil on its shaft, so i thought id just take the plate off and refit it.. now i cant get it to line up for love nor money!

    P.s - is it normal to have that little bit of movement along the shaft?

  2. That washer should turn in a groove on the shaft.

  3. And yes they do ware a bit, I have two engines and both have a bit of movement.
     
  4. it does Birdie :grinning:, but the plate wont sit flush up against the sprocket if i let the plate sit in the groove?
     
  5. It should do when you put the bolts back in. The plate holds the sprocket in the correct position.

  6. So when i tighten it up to the correct torque, the bolts lift the sprocket onto the retaining plate?! easy... Cheers pal!
