The car has 300kmi on it, it may be the original chain. If there is confidence that I did the test right I guess I'll be needing a chain! Goodie, I've never done one of those before. But could 20deg stretch cause it to only have power enough to go up hills in 1? It is truly a dog, as soon as it upshifts it drops in RPM, and keeps dropping. Feels like it's got a Briggs motor under the hood. It could be that the pump is more out of time than the chain stretch would account for. For that matter, it needn't be stretch, somebody could have put it back together all wrong. Records are incomplete, to say the least. -- Jim
Hint. Don't stop. I never saw one get so bad that it wouldn't drive somewhat normal. Saw plenty of blown chains/engines. thankfully none I owned.
