According to the official Honda Service Manual there is no adjustment. If the cam chain is worn/stretched, it needs to be replaced.
Here is a direct quote from the manual: "Measure the amount of the cam chain tensioner projects as shown (there is an illustration). Replace the cam chain with a new one if the projection exceeds 9.0mm (0.35 in)."
You need two chains and the part is obsolete. Here is some info from partzilla.com

The 83 & 84 Ascot share the same engine as the vt500c. It may be easier to find the parts in the UK than in the USA.
If it is just a little noise try to live with it.
I hope this helps. Rod
SOURCE: tail light indicator remains on, 1984 honda shadow
if the tail light is working, then look at the sensor, it is placed under the seat( it is a small black box 2x1,5cm) disconnect and clean contacts. Also put some contact spray in other wire joints.
Sorry for my English
SOURCE: need to tighten the timing chain
It has an automatic cam chain tensioner. If you are getting cam chain rattle, I would look at worn guides/chain.

SOURCE: what is the spark plug gaped at on a 1986 honda
The gap should be .031 to .035. You can download a free Haynes service manual at the website below. That should help you in servicing your bike in the future. Please rate my answer. Thanks.

SOURCE: HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE
There are four spark plugs to change. The spark plug wrench in the motorcycle tool kit will remove and replace the plugs. If the tool kit is missing you can go to the Honda dealer and order just the spark plug wrench (separately off the microfiche tool kit page) necessary to do the job (about $10). The Honda spark plug wrench has a built in grabber to lift the plug out of the deep head access hole.
