honda 185 engine noise
i just got the little honda 185s running and it seems to have a lot of engine noise? is this normal, its not the piston or any thing knocking, i backed the timing chain tensioner adjusting nut to let the tensioner adjust itsself, the noise changed but still the noise of a loose chain noise? dont know, it dont sound bad just noisy, is this normal? i did find some metal shavings in the oil filter screne about a teaspoon worth, is it very hard to change a timing chain? any suggestions would be great. also the engine does not smoke at all. the timing advnace was broken when i purchased the atc????

well that is kinda a reliever for now, but were the cam chain guides worn so bad the chain was eating away metal parts? all those metal shavings worry me, but its not a airplane or anyting, just when im out in the middle of a frozen lake ice fishing i dont want to worry about walking back, let alone pushing it back. where could i find a manual, iv looked at alot of other peoples posts but no luck on a manual, and yes im sure the dealer has one, but how about the nett.

If I remember right, I was able to replace the cam and guides simply by pulling the head/jug. It was a bit tricky to fish the new chain down around the cam but I was possible if I remember right. I don't remember having to split the cases. Should be a simple job, all you need is a torque wrench and I believe a 12mm socket...and the parts of course. Let me look around a bit...I know there is a place to get the manual online.

No need to take the head or anything else like that off. All you need to take off is the little cover on the CDI assembly, cdi, cdi housing, 2 bolts that hold the cam gear on the cam shaft, bolt on the side of the cylinder holding the tensioner in, pullstarter, flywheel, side cover. you can fish the tensioner up through the cases from the cranks opening (which is how you'll get the old tensioner out), and the chain down from the cam. I've done the whole thing in less then an hour and didn't replace any gaskets/seals.
