I was about to reply!!

Before you put the covers back on, I would be happy to pop in and listen to the engine to see if there is anything to worry about. Obviously, if it making a strange sound (I couldn't hear one in the video!), that might put buyers off? Best time for me would be Sunday pm if you can wait that long?

Changed my mind about the chain and think it sounds more like bearing grind.

Looking at the new video and the chain tensioner in particular, I'm not sure whether the adjusting screw is standard and I'm not sure whether or not it is showing an excessive amount of adjustment indicating the primary chain is very badly worn?

Spaceman

On reflection, I think the adjuster is ok - for some reason, I thought this was a later motor (like mine) which has a slightly different adjuster.

Is there no change in noise when you pull the clutch lever.

Doesnt appear to be , yes the tensioner pad is quite low  that probably doesnt help the adjustment but doesnt seem to be worn right through , I am leaning towards chain and front spocket wear .

PMD you Spaceman , cheers
