[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 95881, member: 3426"] I had located the large idler boss so that there was 0 backlash between the large idler and the cam pinion as well as 0 backlash between the large idler and the breather. Similar method when doing a twin. So based on what you are saying, I can use any size 1/2 time pinion and move the large idler so that there is 0 backlash between the large idler/cam pinion and 0 backlash between the large idler/1/2 time pinion... and just forget about backlash between the large idler and the breather? I would have thought backlash there would contribute to the racket. Not from the plastic gear, but the rare earth magnet notchy rotation of the Alton causing the breather gear to rattle against the large idler at tick over speed. [/QUOTE]
