[QUOTE="craig, post: 140503, member: 1959"] Installed the Comet clutch basket/hub, torqued it down and locked the stud numbered 5 to one side. I had to tap the the base of the stud counter clockwise to free it up. Numbers 1 thru 4 had to be removed to install the starter chain..............and also to drill out the poly rub block to allow enough slack in chain. [ATTACH type="full" alt="NeedsStarter29.jpg"]43013[/ATTACH] A lesson learned when installing this small starter chain. I found this position was best for me to allow master link to assemble. I can not explain all the nuances required to get this master link done, cursing seemed to help me. [ATTACH type="full" alt="NeedsStarter30.jpg"]43014[/ATTACH] The top hole of the poly block required me to drill out to 10mm to allow adequate starter chain slack/clearance.
