Normally that indicates a worn out sprocket. Replace and you should be OK.

remove bar, chain there should be a small cover over the drive sprocket, held on woth a screw, remove cover, then there should be a screw or bolt holding the sprocket on, remove that, pull old sprocket off, replace it in reverse.

What kind of sprocket do you want for a small bicycle chain?

well if you have a 8 tooth rear driver you will need a 23t sprocket, if u have a 9 tooth rear driver you will need a 25t sprocket, if u have a 10 tooth rear driver you will need a 28t sprocket, and if you have a 11 tooth rear driver you will need a 30t sprocket


What is sprocket?

It's the small toothed wheel that the chain runs over by the rear wheel, although in engineering terms it is any toothed wheel designed for a chain, including the one rotated by the pedal and crank on a bicycle.


How does one find the timing marks for a '95 S-10 - 2 point 2 liter engine?

ON MY 2.2 4CYLINDER ( 1999 ) YOU HAVE TO PULL THE TIMING CHAIN COVER TO SEE THE " TIMING MARKS " . ON THE CRANK SPROCKET IT IS A PUNCH MARK.....ON THE CAM SPROCKET IT IS A SMALL HOLE IN THE SPROCKET . BOTH MUST LINE UP WITH TABS ON THE CHAIN TENSIONER. THE REST OF THE TIMING IS DONE BY CRANK & CAM SENSORS AND THE COMPUTER.


Why is a small sprocket better?

First you need to be clear about what you're talking about.In regular Bike-speak, sprockets go at the rear, and chainrings/chainwheels go at the front.In BMX-speak, a sprocket goes at the front, and a driver goes at the rear.If you're speaking BMX, a small sprocket will increase the ground clearance.Better if you're riding ramps as there's less risk of the sprocket/chain hitting the lip as you drop in.For speed it doesn't matter, as long as you pick a driver with a suitable tooth count.If you're not riding ramps, well, a smaller sprocket is still lighter, which is a kinda-sorta advantage.The downside is that with a smaller sprocket, you will have to use a smaller driver. And the smaller they get, the faster they wear. And the chain wears too.


If you are on gear one are you on a big gear or a small gear?

1st gear is the gear where you can pedal with the least resistance. For a bicycle with external gears the chain should be on a big sprocket at the back and a small chainwheel at the front.


How do you set the timing belt marks on a 1990 Ford Mustang?

If it is a V8 set the motor at top dead center #1 cylinder a the very top and the cam mark should line up with the middle mark on the crank sprocket or o degrees advanced. it doesnt have a belt, it has a chain. there should be one or two lil dots on the chain and like a very small like on the sprocket, make the dots on the chain line up exact with the sprocket and your good There is one mark (dot) on your came sprocket and one mark (dot) on your crank sprocket right about your crank "key" slot. Align those two marks (cam sprocket mark down, crank sprocket mark up). Now turn your crank 2 complete revolutions and verify that those two marks are in the same location that you originally set them. Obviously you will have to have the chain on. I just installed my millionth and one yesterday.


How does a chain and sprocket work?

To see how a chain in sprocket works in action, you can turn a bicycle upside down and turn the pedals.But here are the particulars:A sprocket is a type of gear, or "Cog-Wheel". Its teeth slot into the gaps in a chain, hence gripping it. The chain then essentially becomes an extension of the circumference of the sprocket. This circumference can be made to form irregular shapes such as an oval. It can even be serpentine if redirected by additional sprockets or guides (maybe shaped like the letter S for example). The chain on your bicycle is actuated (moved) by the forward Sprocket, which is known as a Pinion. Your legs power the pedals, which turn the pinion. The teeth on the Pinion grip the chain and the chain rotates about it, transferring the movement energy of the pinion to that of the Sprocket (the gear/s on the back wheel). If the Pinion is small in comparison to the sprocket you will have to pedal faster and you will travel slower. The effort to move the pedals, however, is reduced. If the Pinion is comparitively large to the Sprocket then you will pedal slower and travel faster. Additionally the effort required to move the pedals will increase. The size ratio of Pinion to sprocket is altered by a system of gears. On a bicycle this is usually some kind of derailer, which displaces the chain from one sprocket, forcing it to catch on another. On bicycles with more than 7 gears there is normally a similar derailer to move the chain at the Pinion end. Both a chain and its driving gears are prone to wear over time. This is due to the frictional forces acting between the two. Such a systems' life span can be extended by regular lubrication. The correct chain tension is also important to minimise wear. Sometimes it is sufficient to simply remove a Sprocket and turn it round, as the teeth tend to wear more on the "pulling" side than on the "pushing" side. It should be noted, however that eventually both components will require replacement.


What happens when you have a small sprocket?

First you need to be clear about what you're talking about.In regular Bike-speak, sprockets go at the rear, and chainrings/chainwheels go at the front.In BMX-speak, a sprocket goes at the front, and a driver goes at the rear.If you're speaking BMX, the most obvious difference is the size, the tooth count.For the same size driver, a bigger sprocket will make the bike slower off the start, but give it a higher top speed.For the same size driver, a smaller sprocket will make the bike quicker off the start, but give it a lower top speed.If you change the driver to match, start and top speed will remain the same, even with a smaller/bigger sprocket. A small sprocket will increase the ground clearance. Better if you're riding ramps as there's less risk of the sprocket/chain hitting the lip as you drop in. If you're not riding ramps, well, a smaller sprocket is still lighter, which is a kinda-sorta advantage. The downside is that the smaller they get, the faster they wear. And the chain wears too.


How do you set a timing chain on a Honda 185?

you take out the peep plug on the top of the flywheel cover look in on the flywheel there are marks a t and a f line up the t take off the cam sprocket take a small screwdriver and keep sliding the chain around the sprocket until the mark on the sprocket lines up with the mark above it on the head then turn it over until the holes line back up make shure your cdi lines up to make shure you are on the right stroke.


Where are the timing marks on a 96 S10 22 cam sprocket?

Look closly at the sprocket and you will see a small dot or indentation,you align both dots (cam and crank sprocket dots)
