sprocket size?

[camaro67]

What size sprocket do I need for my BSR? I have a 5 hp Briggs engine and 11X5 wheels and I want low end torque. I bought a 60 tooth #41 sprocket but it is almost as big as the tire. I am using a TAv 2 with 10 tooth gear can any one help? I also bought a axle from barstool racer supply one inch and it is bent. Has anyone else ever run in to this problem?

If your axle is bent get ahold of Mike. I'm sure you guys can work something out.

Hey Camaro,

If you going to run a TAV with the 5hp you can use a 54T or a 40T which will both work good. The TAV will grab strong for the take off. If you were running a clutch instead of the TAV I would recommend the 60T or a 54T.

As for the axle, give us a call so we can get you taken care of. Sometimes when they cut the key way in the axle you can get a small amount of flex in the axle. Once it is bolted in the bearing hangers everything works fine.

I am not sure how bent your axle is, so call us and we will take care of you.
