So I’m trying to tension my cam chain on a rebuilt engine and I’m very much a rookie. When I turn the engine over with the kick starter the tensioner shaft stays inside the adjuster. When I turn it over using a shifter on the rotor the middle tensioner shaft pops out almost half an inch. Why would turning the engine over with the kick starter not affect that tension Rod when turning the rotor makes it move? This is my first ever engine rebuild, I’m nearly 70 and very much a rookie. The bike has run since the rebuild but it ran rough. I took the new VM34 carbs off and cleaned and reassembled plus leaned them out a bit. Now I’m going through the cam chain tension, valve clearances and timing again step by step before trying to start her up again. Any advice appreciated. Thanks, D
