chain and clutch

[Juliano_R]

recently got this 420 chain that is supposed to fit this 41/420 clutch and it doesn't fit at all. Any reasons why? Am I missing something here?

WOW.... Not only did they screw up the pic.... the description matches the screw up...
IM sorry to say...

That is a #35 chain clutch....
It has 12t... thats the first giveaway...
The description says its supposed to be a 10t....which it is not...

Where abouts you located???

Whoops! McKutzy is right.

I'm just acting as an impartial second opinion, but that clutch is for #35 chain indeed.

Obviously he's a leaf like you. But maaan, that's an expensive clutch for what it is.

Ironically thats cheap..... getting one at the princess is $69 in 40/41, the #35 is about $69 and
$74 but thats a Hilliard...
So he got a bit of a bargain.....

I'd show the pics to the seller, file a complaint, etc. Maybe get a refund. If you're lucky, they might tell you to keep it.

welp now I gotta buy another chain and another rear sprocket to fit this #35 chain ??

 

[Hellion]

Well, yeeeah, if you wanna go that way.

I've got three karts, two are #420 chain and one is #35. It's not an issue keeping up with the differences.

 

[mckutzy]

Id say, do what is cheapest....as is what ever the chain size...

Register back with the seller to see if they can resolve it somehow...Its Ebay and talking it out helps more so than most other businesses...

Will it fit what? I'm no longer sure which direction you're heading with the project.

Description says it's for 40/41/420 chain, but the 4th photo shows a #35 chain clutch.
Seller has no reviews either.


Suffice to say, you must acquire the chain that matches the clutch, and that matches the sprocket. It couldn't be simpler.

 

[mckutzy]

I'd ask for sure as to tooth count and chain type.

 

[Juliano_R]

At this point I own a chain and a sprocket that work together (420) and all I'm missing is a clutch. I'm not going to go buy another chain and sprocket just to fit the clutch (#35).

Save the clutch for another project!
