    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Cam chain check

How do you check if the cam chain is tensioned correctly? I have to replace the gasket for the cam chain tensioner and I have read that after removing it, they usually have to be readjusted.

Your cam chain tensioner is automatic and spring loaded. Before you take it off you have to lock it in place or it will pop into your enging. On the side or the tensioner there is a lock nut with a slotted screw in the center. Loosen the nut and tighten the screw. This will lock the tensioner. Now you can remove it. Now you have to cock it before reinstalling it. First loosen the screw in the center of the lock nut. With the flat side of the piston facing the screw push in the piston while turning the knurled knob. You will feel the piston moving with the knob. When its in as far as it will go tighten the screw to lock the piston. Install the tensioner. Release the piston by backing out the screw a quarter turn. You will hear it pop out. Tighten the lock nut and that's it.
 
Yeah Brian, I knew you had that and I usually post yoiur links. I guess I wanted to hear myself talk last night.
