The complete assy would still be heavier than the chain arrangement I have. I just wonder if there would be less friction with the cogs than a chain and outweigh the weight

hmm, I think if you set the backlash correctly the driven losses should be less - something you'd have to measure - may be worth a little bit - for the price though not as much as giving the two inner cylinders more spark than the outer two though Paul.lol!
If Carling made Mini engines
