OK, now I'm thinking I'm being dyslexic...is the ratio between the crank
and the cam not 2:1?
According to the photo on Fred's site, below, there's no way this is
happening with the cam gear having 24 teeth, and none of the others
being 12 teeth
So, I guess I'll stop talking about this until I figure out what which
way is up!! :O
Sorry about wandering off that dead end, for those that were listening
to me
