My poor old inner transmission cover

Well I´m lost for words..... almost . The things you can find in a +40 years old engine, and I´ve just started :!:

It was assembled to the cases with improper spacer shims in the tranny cradle stand-off lug.

Then, it suffered a blown chain.

Two of the most common items you see on those inner primary covers.

Been there done that, very comon, its done it before so who ever repaired it didn't fix the problem with the spacers, thrown chains can make a mess of things as well.

The good news is they aren't impossible to find... unless you're in Sweden. :mrgreen:

BAZINGA!

Absolutely the BEST answer ever.

Thats if you can afford one, I picked up a inner and outer case off ebay a few years ago was under $100 and was in perfect condition, the inner is on my bike and now have a spare outer case, you can get new inner cases, RGM etc sell them.

Found undeniable proof! Although it was correct when I took it apart yesterday, there was a washer there and it looked absolutely right. So this is obviously an old mistake by some previous owner. Should add that it´s not in an original frame, it´s an old chopper with a rigid frame. A quick look yesterday makes me suspect that the chain alignment is not what it should be.
Dave: Thanks for reminding me.....
Gripper: I would do that in a heartbeat if I had the money, but that´s not the case (no pun intended ) at the moment.
