icprey Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Trying to put my quad back together after purchase from another who messed everything up. I've arrived at the chain roller and with all the parts he gave me and what I have purchased I can't figure it out 100%. I actually set it up great so that I don't have any play on the roller but it seems a little too tight for me. I have ythe Clymer and it is very difficult to see exactly how they set it up. They do not appear to have a thin collar that has a raised lip that came in my parts box and is visible on the on-line parts microfiche #42 2001 model. Even on the microfiche if I put it on that way the roller has too much slack and kind of sits there crooked. My roller may have too much wear on the inside and I have ordered a new one this morning but when I get it I want to be able to put it on. This rebuild is taking way longer than I want. Any pictures or clear and accurate descriptions are very welcomed. This is what I have as options so far. Clymer: Swing-arm end with nothing on it. Then put roller with taper side towards inside, then add side cap. Doing this had the roller way loose, just floating on there. Parts microfiche: Swing-arm end with thin collar lip towads inside. Then put roller (no mention of taper but I'll assume inwards). Then put cap. Again very loose like this, almost no difference and if you ask me the lip on the collar looks like it will just cut into the roller. My way: Swing-arm end with thin collar but lip on the outside so that lip is positioned in the middle. Then chain roller with taper to the inside and then put side caps on. In doing this configuration The roller was on there solid with very slight resistence but able to turn. However once inserted into the frame the resistence tightened and I'm not sure the chain would put enough pressure to spin it, maybe just wear it in one place. Please let me know if you are sure how this should be set-up. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 I think the stock style slider on the front of the swinger is junk... Get the aftermarket UPP one for a few bucks, that thing will last you for ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
