Re: Homemade chain tensioner
Looks like it would work. BTW are you still building an airboat with a Vegas 460?

Re: Homemade chain tensioner
I may be a little late in replying here, but here goes.
I have noticed two things. 1. You will need a much heavier duty spring than you are currently using. 2. I can't really tell from your picture but I am thinking that you have your tensioner placed on the drive side of the chain. What It mean is when your cart is driving forward the chain will be tight on one side of the sprocket as the motor is "pulling" it. You want your tensioner positioned on the "slack" side of the pulley. Try these things and see if you don't notice a dramatic improvement. |

It works but you might be right because it does make a squeaky noise from the chain. Might be too tight.
