2005 Ultra, with 95CI, Full Ported, 26G cams

Guys, had to pull the primary apart, including the inner primary, to change the transmission lever. The splines worn and the lever was loose.

Any case, after putting everything back together, I picked up a noise when starting. Only lasts for approx 2 seconds and sounds like near the primary chain adjuster and/or compensator.

Did not have a bit of noise before I tore down the primary.

Any ideas why I picked up this new noise?

 

loose adjuster. not aligned correctly. did you forget to tighten the bolt for the adjuster. did you check the alignment of the chain. just my >02 worth

 

No auto tensioner. Stock nylon shoe. Did check it and is adjusted okay. I think it may be the inner guts of the compensator. Is it a known issue for these compensators to make noise? It's like something in it continues to spin for a second/two after the engine starts.

 

sounds kinda like the starter isnt sliding in and out properly...does it make the sound with the primary off ????
