Cam tensioner fitted wrongly?

<< < (3/8) > >>

Drew400:
Thanks Lynx,

I compressed the springs and then tightened the locking nut on the outside of the crankcase before joining  the crankcase halves. So currently, the damper should be well clear of the chain/tensioner. Thus, if I slackened off the locking nut now, it would decompress and spring into the chain to tighten it.

Half I done that correctly and thus countered your suggestion?

Cheers, D.

p.s. I have to split the cases again having forgotten to fit the starter cog retention bolt... oh joy!

Lynx:
No. That sounds right.

Drew400:
Thanks Oddjob,

The U-shaped bracket is clear (and shiny) when peered at down the hole after removing the blade... and the rubber damper is fastened to the blade end.

Hmmm???!!

Drew400:
I think I will have to do yet more dismantling to get to the bottom (like what I did there?) of this. Guess where I'll be this weekend?!

Cheers,

D.

That's life Drew but, at least you are learning. You have all winter to get it right and you will in the end. A book can not tell you everything.
