Yes, both motors I have are groved where the primary was hitting, and have a lot of slack. Also I could hear it on the motor I was running.

You will always see grooves in the tensioner. How deep are they?
David Silver spares if you need a chain.

'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Draw and drawer. Could care less/couldn't care less. Bought/brought FFS.

Primary chain, not cam. Groves in the case, not tensioner. Does anyone know where I can get a new primary chain?
