Hi NormK and JFB,
I read that even the full crank 160 can have problems over time due to the side force on the crank. That's another reason it pays to have it as loose as allowable.
Can a FC be made to go on a 600 and I wonder how well a 125cc would perform? No worse than a four stroke I expect. You do have the 2:1 ratio belt drive.


Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
