Camchain adjuster

(1/4) > >>

Sprocket:
Hi - silly question, perhaps. Is the camchain adjuster bolt at the front of the engine supposed to be completely perpendicular to the front of the crankcases? Mine was definitely a little skewiff, and when I looked inside I can see the original drilling is at a bit of an angle. So I can see the merit in either being correct.

Nurse Julie:
You may be able to see from this picture what angle the adjuster bolt should sit at [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

If the upper angled bolt is the camchain adjuster what is the other one below it? Confusing. :-\

The locking device for the adjuster.
No's 12, 16,17,18. If you don't lock it in place, the bar will not push on and tension the horse shoe and in turn will not tension the blade against the chain.

OK..so with engine ticking over...I slacken that, then slacken the camchain adjuster...tighten the former again and tighten camchain adjuster?
