I'm in the process of assembling a Predator upgrade and a jack-shaft....
The existing chain tensioner spindle is about the same level as the sprocket on the jack-shaft but is several inches closer to the rear sprocket...so (if used as is) it makes the chain take a sharp angle up and then about level for the few inches to the shaft sprocket...
Di I really need the tensioner ?
Should I modify the position so it will work without a drastic affect on the chain angle?
