Cam chain.. CB400f
Nurse Julie:
If you want a pic of what you can see with the sump off, let me know as mine is still off at present
Integra99:
Ah yes of course silly me all top end isnt it! Bah!
Yes any pics would be good please.. I'm hoping that the problem is simply the chain is stretched and at the max of it adjustment as the horseshoe is certainly moving when pressure applied to the slipper/tension arm as pushing down applies pressure to the other side if that makes sense
Integra99:
Thanks all.. ok this all makes sense now.. the blades look good hardly worn and the tensioner lock nut still has thread and the chain looks in good condition. The Horseshoe is working and I think its the rod thats stuck.
Odd Job.. that's good advice, I had a lot of chain rattle until I put in a slightly longer blanking plug, I think this pushed the rod down and effectively tightened the tensioner a little without me realising and explains why the rattle has settled a huge amount.
So what to do now really.. ?
I have a new cam chain.. it would seem sensible to fit this I suppose. I may spray some penetrating fluid into the blanking hole and leave to settle.
Nurse Julie:
You really can't see much through the sump of a CB400/4, definitely not the bit you're trying to see !!!
