Hey all, I tried searching for this problem that I assumed was common but no dice. My chinese 2-stroke came with a 415H chain, I tried to feed it through the front sprocket with clutch engaged and even a rubber hammer but it will not feed through, from inspection I can see the chain is hitting the housing on the front side of the sprocket (not the removable housing with clutch lever, but the housing which contains the magneto). My friend who ordered the same kit noted right away that my chain was larger than his, but he said his was a "415 BMX chain"... I guess there may be a difference in 415 and 415H?
Anyways, this is real frustrating as no local bike shops had a 415 chain and my order from pistonbikes, well everything came so far except the chain.
Should I try again to force it through with a screwdriver or something, or try dremel-grinding the housing?, or should I just wait for my new chain (assuming the darn thing comes).
Also, it seems the next smaller chain size is down to the not-so-tough looking bicycle-sized chains, maybe I should try a 410 or something?
Thanks for your help.
