Just to check is that 1/2″ X 5/16″ 69 links including spring link (i.e. 68 chain links + 1 spring link) or 69 chain links plus the spring link (so 70 in total) ? as Richard at scottparts.co.uk is suggesting 68 chain links plus the spring link ?

I’ve contacted Richard and he doesn’t supply the make of chain fitted to my bike, the markings on it are a “O8 B” on some links and what looks like a rounded capital ‘A’ within a circle, I don’t think this is the original chain as I have a copy of a letter from the previous owner to the SOC trying to source a new one as the original was badly worn, does anyone recognise these manufacturers markings ?

Hi Brian,
Many thanks for that, do you know what size the original chain was, and how I can tell if it still has the original ?
Cheers

Thanks for the responses, I have owned a “classic” two stroke before, a 1955 BSA Bantam 125, and this seemed as a bike with a quarter of the capacity, to have comparativly better performance, but again maybe I’m expecting too much from a pre-war engine design. I was wondering if there are any owners in the West Yorkshire, Huddersfield/Dewsbury area ? maybe they could take a look and put my mind at rest 🙂

Thanks Jan, yes I have downloaded some articles from the technacalaties web site, but with my limited knowledge I find it hard to determine what information pertains to my Scott and what doesn’t, I guess what I was hoping for was that someone had a copy of an “owners manual” or the like if there was such a thing ?
