Hi again, how do you adjust the timing chain tensioner on a 1991 trx 350 ( same as (89 trx 350 foreman) the manual does not describe it well. Thanks Eric

It automatically tensions the chain. It's not adjustable. Before you bolt it in, you have to take the bolt out of the end of it. Then take a screwdriver and put in the end of it and wind it in. You have to hold it in with the screwdriver until you bolt it up. Now, just turn the screwdriver loose and it will automatically extend and tension the timing chain.

BTW, it's a lot easier to loosen that bolt in the end of the tensioner before you unbolt the tensioner from the cylinder. It's usually real tight.

This picture shows retracting the tensioner with a special tool, but you can use a tiny flat screwdriver.

Yeah, I already knew that, but I looked it up to make sure, too, when we were trying to figure out the '91.
