You should be able to replace the timing chain while the engine is on it as long as there is nothing in your way. Make sure you have enough clearance so you can work, and that you can remove the sprockets(if needed) and the old chain first. Be careful not to get too much dirt on the new chain.
Sounds like you need a valve adjustment, if it is popping thru the carb, the intake valve is open at the wrong time, this can be caused by three things, too much gas, timing is wrong (stretched chain) or valves too tight not allowing valve to close. I would adjust valves first.
Take the spark plug(s) out and bring the top of a piston all the way up to Top Dead Center (TDC) using a pencil, eraser inwards to feel the piston top come up to its maximum travel. The timing chain needs to be aligned to the triangle mark indicator to match the piston position. Then adjust the timing advance according to the mfr's specs.
the rear wheel is the adjustment. loosen the main axle bolt and slide the wheel back until chain is tighter. if it has rear suspension there should be a small amount of slack in the chain when done. retighten axle bolt.
Hi Matt only help I can give is look along top & bottom of chain for a tensioner it will be a round rubber wheel. If you cant find a tensioner it will more than likely you need to cut the chain down. If your not sure how to let me know & i'll let you know how. Also DO NOT USE IT while chain is loose as if you do & chain comes off you can crack engine case which then means a new engine
Pull cover & remove nut after bending down locktab.Replace sprocket with new. Retighten with blue loctite on nut & refold locktab so it can't come loose.Readjust chain slack to 3/4 " in the middle of chain. Retighten rear housing bolts.
