Primary Adjustment question
Well the more I go about putting this evo together the more I realise I do not know and help I need. So I got the primary drive back on this afternoon and can't get the chain adjusted. Even with the adjuster all the way up I still have tons of slack...is the chain wore out or am I missing something. I appreciate any help here.

You have no real info so everything is a guess - from the clutch its a 90 to 97 and it looks softail --
what i see is the front gear might be smaller than it is stock - 25 tooth front sprocket it what you should have
how many teeth does it have the front gear

Given that information I would say you need a new chain.
