    Gremlin, there is a drive problem. Pull the clutch cover and see if all the plates are in place. When the crank turns the gear between cyls 3 & 4 turns the large clutch gear which turns the other gears on it's shaft which engages with and turns the output shaft on which the output sprocket is situated. This sprocket is then attached to the rear wheel sprocket by the rear chain.

    Pull the clutch cover as I said and rotate the engine with the large 19mm nut on the ign end of the crankshaft and see what is moving and what is not and you will work it out.

    Good luck.
