balancer chain and canshaft tensioner
Posted: Sun Aug 06, 2000 1:02 pm
Ok I went through the archives and I'm starting to get nervous.
I'm hearing a ticking noise coming from the left side coming from
under the tank as as ride. It sounds like a chain rattling or
something loose. Is the Camshaft tensioner on the left side? And
how do I adjust it? I took off the rubber plug for the Balencer
tensioner near the gear shifter and loosened it 3 turns but didn't
hear nothing "click" so i tightned it up and it is still ticking.
It is not loud nor is it everytime, but it is there, most of the time
at idle. I don't have a book yet. I have a 1993 with 9200 miles.
Could anyone help me fix my time bomb before I blow the casing apart.
Also any pictures would be helpful. I went to the buykawasaki site to
take an internal look. What else is there to do. I know most of you
have had this experiance and I should be tick free by tomorrow.
Thanks in advance.
