Idler wheel revision

Once I had put the res/bellows unit in place, I quickly realized that the interior con rod was hitting the idler wheel shaft, so I ended up putting a dogleg bend in the shaft and set its non-wheel end in a different location, well out of the path of the con rod - here you can see the old abandoned hole, and the new one just below and to the right.

Since bending the rod took away some of its length (and since I couldn't get a drill into that part of the crankcase), I drilled into a small scrap of hardwood and then attached the piece with a couple of screws:









Here's an exploded view of all of the idler wheel components:








Everything except the shaft and the spring go on the outside of the crank housing - the spring tension keeps everything in place:








Here's where things stand now:
