2004 Honda CRF 230 F how much slack should the timing chain have

SOURCE: crf 230f yr2005... choke must stay on all the time

carb needs to be rebuilt. try a little fuel injection cleaner in the tank run it around a lot.

SOURCE: timing chain 110 hymoto pit bike

Put the piston at TDC (Top Dead Center) by lining up the timing marks on the flywheel and stator. Put the cylinder head back together with the cam installed so the high points of the cam lobes are pointing kind of downward. Pull the cam chain taught on the front side of the engine. Put the chain on the cam gear such that, when bolted to the cam, the index mark or marks are in the proper position.

The proper position depends on what markings are on the cam. Some bikes have a single mark; an arrow, a straight line or an "O". The mark should line up with the center-line of the crankshaft. If the cam has two marks opposite each other, the lines should be parallel with the gasket surface. You will need to rotate the unbolted cam left or right just a bit in order to match up the bolt holes to the gear holes.

Can I get a “very helpful” rating on this answer?

SOURCE: I have a 2009 CRF 230F. What size socket do I

It will be a metric size. The standard sizes are 13,14,17 and 19mm. The manuals will not say what size. Or just use a crescent wrench.

it can make the engine run very lean, this can cause piston damage, suggest you modify the fuel system to deliver more fuel.
