Crank gear
« on: July 06, 2009, 06:29:36 pm »
Has anybody that's running an AVS single cylinder broken a crank gear yet? My son broke one in his over the weekend. They look pretty chinsy, and they are pretty thin, because the AVS crank has a lot bigger journal on the bottom where it goes through the oil pan and the OD of the gear is the same as a regular gear. I think maybe they are powdered metal, with a thin steel band fused to the inside circumference. Does anybody make a steel gear to fit the AVS motor?

I have a new factory crank gear ordered. I'm gonna take it to a local machine shop and see if I can get one made out of hardened steel.
