    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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 Noise

The noise is like a whirr.... almost like BB's in a tin can. I am sure that it is the cam chain rubbing on the upper most cover. I took the cover off yesterday to reveal an area on the cover that has wear from the chain running across it. What would cause the chain to reach the case? I rebuild the tensioner over winter last year and it never made a difference. The chain doesnt really appear to be worn. Could it be a bad chain and sprockets?

I just dont want to replace a bunch of parts and find out that it was something totally different causing this.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

Thanks Guys!
 
Sounds like the tensioner is not working properly. First thing is to make sure the plunger is released and free to move. Maybe you didn't wind the spring tight enough when you rebuilt the tensioner?
