Hello my Esteemed Lawnmower Colleagues,

I have an elderly Webb Wasp and it is in very good condition.  Lately, it has been seizing up, the chain gets jammed.  I am wondering how long the chain is suppose to be?  How many links?  In fettling the machine last summer, we may have replaced a link and inadvertently shortened the chain.  As you can tell I more of an enthusiast than a mechanic.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you, Johnnie

Thanks Chirpy999.  I contacted the British Lawnmower Museum and they couldn't answer, but they sent me the correct link for the chain.  I will give it a try.
