Cam Chain tensioning

(1/3) > >>

Hi Guys,

New here, so bear with me please.

I need to tighten up the cam chain and have found loads of helpful guidance both on here and on You tube.

I understand the process and mechanics of the tension-er and it all seems sensible and straightforward enough, however I have NO movement whatsoever on cyl one tappet on either stroke at TDC.

??

Must be some space in the exhaust cycle as cylinder 1 is running ok and pipe is hot (burned myself to make sure)

Doing some self analysis whilst writing this, i was pushing the tappet down and sideways at TDC should i be pulling it up?

any thoughts would be mucho appreciated

Daft question but have you adjusted it and checked the gap ;)

T 1-4 is marked on the ignition auto advancer behind the points and when the mark lines up with the static mark Cylinders 1 and 4 are both at TDC one of them at top of exhaust stroke where both valves are open a bit and the other on compression where both valves are closed and anyway it don't matter a stuff if you follow the intstructions I posted in tricks and tips

This was a video I followed the other day - hope it opens ok , if not dial in 'cam chain adj cb750k'
It seems to be OK on mine since I have done it.
Hopefully our experts agree.

I'm beginning to think people don't trust this method Brian.
I'm thinking maybe because this method seems too simple for such an important job.
