Gearbox/Clutch Noise w/video

<< < (2/3) > >>

Athame57:
Could the cam chain be too tight?

Anders S:
My 1975 sounds exactly as Brian’s. Noice is only when you put load on drivetrain/engage clutch. I guess if it should be cam chain the noice should be all the time, without load also.

Yet this is what happened to me, it sounds the same if more acute. I amended and it went away.

Anders S:
Thank you! I released the tensioning screw and fastened it but no change.
Any other suggestions?

I think it was BryanJ that mentioned putting some tension into the cam chain by pushing down on the kick start whilst making the adjustment. Maybe worth a try?
