Clutch Chain Adjustment Question
I loosen up the chain tensioner by mistake thinking it was the primary drain.
5 and 6 in this diagram.
Now, how do I tighten it up to proper tension?

If you just moved the nut, just cinch it back. I'm trying to visualize how something like this happens. That adjuster looks nothing like a drain plug.

Sedona, I have the service manual. I was just distracted.
I looked and didnt find the part I wanted in the manual.
Allen, thanks for the Videos. That answered my question.
John, it does look like a drain plug to me.
Have you heard the story about Newton and the egg?
I guess derogatory comments make some people feel smarter.

I would check the chain tension in the process, instead of simply tightening back.
It's a five minutes job.

+1 - It's damn near impossible to loosen the adjuster lock-nut without the adjuster screw turning as well. You should redo the primary chain tension adjustment.
