Well, I'm in the process of figuring out the drivetrain on this mini project.
The way the engine and rear wheel are sitting, there is not a clear line to run the chain. I know I will need a jackshaft.(probably two, maybe three)
My question right now is this: If I buy a torque converter kit and mount the driver on a jackshaft, can I mount it facing the right side of the frame?
It looks like the driven pulley can be reversed, and I think this is where my brain runs into a hiccup. If I take the driven apart and move it so it sits against the other side of those ramps, what do I do with the spring? Can I just turn it over, or do they make a 'clockwise' spring?
I am thinking about a sprocket on the 2 stroke crank, chain to a 3/4" jackshaft behind the engine and mounting the T/C on the right side of that jackshaft.
By doing that, I could align the whole assembly and the driven sprocket with the wheel sprocket, only on the RIGHT side.
If you understand what I just said, please help me. AAAAGGGHHHH!!!!
*edit* PS it might be driving me toward abusing alcohol.
