i just kinda know heat and battery = bad.

Maths is working out at a 11.7% increase for acceleration/high rpms per gear.

I can deal with that, 6th never gets used anyway and I barely go over national speed limits, so putting that power/gear ratio into accel vs top speed is fine with me.

Is changing the sprockets this way enough? 11% doesn't feel like a lot on paper, but from reading around it's a noticeable difference apparently?

I was thinking replacing chain/sprockets regardless of condition for example, and check/top up all ya basics like fluids and stuff even if look fine, i'd feel better putting brand new in.

Theres absolutely no sign anythign is wrong, no check engine light or anything. the car is 100% normal

then the power just goes, accelerator does nothing, switching to a lower gear as speed reduces just stops the car faster.

Im suspecting something is over heating? maybe a fuel pump? It didnt sound very smooth and consistent listening to it run when cycling the ignition on and off and few times to build pressure, but i thought it should only need to run to pressure teh rail ONCE per ignitiion cycle .but yeah took 2-3 for the noise to actually stop as the pressure had built.

Naturally would try to avoid chains as I get those everywhere! any good local spots or business' ? mostly town centre only as using Train and wont have transport.
