Help can't get cam chain back on

(1/4) > >>

WPF81S:
Am I doing something wrong just can't get cam chain back on 1 hour so far. Is there a special way?  Iain

Ian,
           I had trouble doing mine at first.
Make sure the tensioner is fully backed off.
Make sure you are putting the chain back on from the left side of the cam as you are looking at it (exhaust ports in view).
In my experience the chain will not go back on from the other side.
Hope this helps.

Regards,

Done it I just ignored the Haynes manual and used some common sense.

We should have a "Quote of the Month" page - I nominate this for the first inclusion"!

I spent a while at mine until I decided to move the chain to the other side of the sprocket as I had tried everything else, much easier. :)
