martin 305 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Hi all doing a bantam engine and I cant remember what gears I swop from mainshaft to lay shaft I think its main shaft 3rd with lay shaft 2nd the ones fixed with the circlip not the sliding gears . I wrote down the number of teeth 26 to22 and 25 to 21 but cant remember if its the fixed or sliding gears . Many thanks Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smelling123 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Martin, take a picture or do a drawing before you start - its very easy but if you're like me you'll end up confusing yourself half way through!!! Basically you move the 3rd layshaft gear to the mainshaft in place of the 2nd gear and vica versa. Remember that the gears that mate originally (i.e. the 3rd gear pair and the 2nd gear pair) will still mate when you're done - its just that youve moved them to the opposite shaft and moved position. hope this makes sense...? It's worth doing as you get a useable 2nd gear. cheer Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a three bantams and one has a standard box and you can tell the difference hence the engine strip .. Very clever Wonder who thought of it ?
