I think I have a Robinson Racing pinion .
Perhaps I installed the motor mount cam the wrong way ? But it only seems to slide in one way so I am pretty sure that is not the problem . What is the little set screw for ? Got to be honest , not to sure about how this motor mount works . What is to keep the motor for sliding back and forth after you set the mesh ?
I am running a 8.5 Turn Novak Motor so I though 18 /81 would be a good start for gearing ? Any thoughts or suggestions on that ?
It should fit. I started at 18 when I built mine and it meshed with the spur without an issue. Is it not reaching along the axis of the motor shaft (looks like it would mesh but the teeth don't line up) or is it not reaching perpendicular to the motor shaft (teeth line up but can't get the motor close enough for the teeth to mesh)?
