Sprocket 1 is the 60 tooth camshaft sprocket and gear 2 is the 30 tooth crankshaft sprocket. Logically, I should be setting gear #1 (60t) to .5 rotations for each rotation of gear 2 (30t). But, when I set it that way, the camshaft sprocket rotates twice per crankshaft rotation.
To get the correct ratio, I have to set gear 1 to a full turn per half revolution of gear 2. That seems exactly backwards, or am I thinking about this wrong?
