Default Primary Noise

I built a 120 inch in an aftermarket hardtail frame. A 300 rear tire. Had to install the spacers for the engine to fit the primary. I installed a solid front sprocket without the compensator. Just a solid primary chain with a M6 chain tensioner. Any one know of a good fix to get rid of the primary noise? Only makes noise on deceleration. Thanks

Especially if you see any sign of the chain hitting the primary.
