    So the timing chain can "stretch"?!?!?!

    Is this true? I tore the 110 apart to get it ready to sell, yup im gonna, well the timing chain is looser than a son of a gun, but the tensioner won't go more. My uncle said that when it stretches, it makes the timing go off, so it doesn't run as well. I would notice that the throttle respnse would change dramatically when accellerating and deaccelleration, then to accellerate.

    Yes sir,any chain can stretch.It sounds like you need to do a top end rebuild,but you are selling it...I'm sure you can find someone who is willing to put some labor into it.

    Im fixing a lot of the small probs, like the stuck drive chain, which i just fixed, and the loose timing chain. I have about 4 other 110 and 90 motors to take from so i thought i'd fix it up a bit, then probably get some more out of it. The motor only needs a bore now. Ive fixed pretty much everything else over the years.

    Yes, the chain can stretch and if it is too loose it can skip a tooth which will result in bent valves. I would keep that in mind if you leave it alone and sell it to someone. That would be a real bummer if you buy a new toy and it breaks right aay on them.
    Good Luck!

    usually you can hear it if its too loose. It sounds all ratchety and like riding on a roller coaster when it is being towed up
