:"Should I be able to turn this compensator sprocket nut with my hand"
Absolutely not! If it is that loose then I take back what I said earlier about the noise being something else. This is the reason.
Here is what I would do, since you want to install a clutch anyway:
Remove the comp nut. The spring will not fly off.
Then remove the clutch pressure plate, the plates and the hub.
Now you can remove the clutch sprocket, the comp sprocket and the primary chain all as a unit. It has to go back the same way.
Be sure to remove the sleeve on the crank at the comp end of things. All of these parts need to go back in the same order as they were removed.
Inspect all of the parts closely for any damage.
I have attached the 2 pages from the manual that covers the comp sprocket removal and re-install procedure. The file has to be a jpeg here on the forum so I hope you can read it.
You will need a pin wrench for that comp nut to tighten it correctly. That is most likely the reason it came loose.....not the right type of wrench was used the last time it was installed.........pg

Yessir! And those parts need to be free so that they can slide freely. That is what the noise was about.
I guess you can get the parts from J&P, or a dealer. I would go for J&P myself. You may want to see what J&P gets for a pin wrench, but it most likely would be $40 or more as a guess...........pg

Yes a wrench can be made Cal.
I am sure you have done yourself and you will agree that the difficulty getting the center to center dimension, as well as drilling the holes straight is something that comes easier to some of us than others.
I find that I need a drill press to do it myself.
Here is a pic of a pin wrench I made here at home just last week to remove and reinstall the nose nut on my Bridgeport milling machine. This nose piece is about 2 i/2 inches in diameter with two opposed holes that are 3/16 inch diameter.
I drilled it using the Bridgeport which has a digital readout. Even with that it took a second try before I got the center dimension correct.
But yeah, it can be done.........pg
