B4.1 manual recommends 24t pinion for a 10.5t motor running 81t spur for a starting gear ratio !!!

(for some reason B4.1ft manual states the gear ratio for 81/24 for a 10.5t motor will give you 8.42 FDR !!!)

Heres how to calculate the gear ratios

Spur gear 81 divided by pinion gear 24 multiplied by the internal gear box ratio 2.6:1 = Final Drive Ratio (FDR) 8.775 (or 8.78)

81 / 24 x 2.6 = 8.775 (or 8.78)

Check instructions that came with motor as it might have its own preferred gear ratio !!!
