I think you need an 81 link chain with that set up
16X46 would normally be a stretched 80, got one on mine running with the pull down tensioner using an 81 link and 16X46.I think you gone a link too far.

I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order.

I've got a new 81 link chain still in the packaging which I got from Just Lambretta. It's a good quality IRIS one if you want it I'll let you have it for £25 including postage. PM me if you're interested cheers Peter.

For those that need to know ..... IRIS chains are manufactured in Spain, they previously supplied Eibar / Serveta back in the day and are a current supplier to Suzuki so presumably up to the job. They only make 80, 81 and 82 that I'm aware of.
Cheers, Martin.

Most scooter shops get their IWIS chains from the sole UK distributor [and that's NOT Sprockets Unlimited]. You'll know if they're the "real deal" if they come packed in official Red Iwis boxes. Unfortunately the real thing isn't cheap. The Industrial IWIS chain can be bought cheaper than the correct Automotive chain.
