I am wondering if anyone has dealt with a chain wear issue?
I rebuilt my scooter because it was making a constant noise, that constant noise is gone now because i changed crankshaft.
I had an issue prior to the rebuild that also was chain wear noise. When i did the rebuild i found wear on rocker arm case near chain and on the crankshaft bearing... that noise is back!
I did change chain tensioner and thought the problem had been fixed. Is it possible the oil pump is not functioning correctly, and not enough oil pressure is around the chain?
The noise is like a belt slap noise and it is only when i accelerate hard on the throttle, when it is not under heavy load the is little to no noise.

Are you sure you put the chain on right? Tight on the bottom and slack on the top which the chain tensioner then presses down on. Alleyoop

Yes chain is tight. I installed it, rotated several times til it reached the tdc mark, then i installed the cam and tensioner.
I am concernedit could be a bad oil pump, or possibly bad bearing on camshaft.

Oil pump is easy to check.Remove the valve cover,pack rags around the front and bottom,(leave the rockers a little exposed, )and start the engine for about 2-3 seconds. You should see oil squirting out. If you're careful, you wont make a mess.
