In steps:
1. get the piston near top dead centre on the compression stroke. Easiest way to tell is to take the points cover off and just as the points open is the spot.
2. On the LHS of the motor, same side as points cover, right down bottom of the side cover there is a rubber cap ( NOT the one in the middle rear of the side cover which is clutch adjustment). The correct cap covers a bolt head and lock not. Bolt head is 10 mm metric socket, lock nut is 12 mm.
3. Loosen the 12 mm lock nut a couple of turns.
4. then loosen the 10 mm bolt a couple of turns.
5. You may / should hear a click as the spring loaded cam chain tensioner takes up the slack. - may be no click if the chain is already adjusted ok, or if the tensioner is stuck.
6. tighten the 10 mm bolt. Only use a very small spanner ( 4 inch handle) it is very easy to strip the alloy thread in the case if you over do it.
7. Now tighten the lock nut - again, small spanner is enough.
8. Put the rubber cap back on.
9. Your cam chain should be adjusted, and engine much quieter if thas was the problem.
