Magneto chain replacement consequences.

Forums

My 1935Es2 magneto chain is so loose its surprising it stays on the sprockets. So I need to replace it, I assume. I have been guided to adjustment of the same, and how to do the ignition timing by releasing the mag' sprocket but not taking the chain off. So my question is , what problems will I incur by replacing the chain? Many thanks.

You'll have to remove both sprockets and re-time it. Probably best to replace sprockets as well...Watch out for AMC or later Norton which have one tooth extra...one of each can make for interesting experiments.
