[TR] TR3B timing chain slack

[Wbeech]

Good thought, I tried to lift the chain off the sprocket and it moved less
than 1/8"(that would be about 3.175mm, Geo) so I think the sprocket is OK,
but I will take a closer look at it tomorrow.

Thx to all,
Bill

I've heard chains and gears wear together.   With an inch of slack, I'd
make sure the gear teeth have enough depth left to do their job.  The gears
on my tr2 were shallow and quite sharp. I bit the bullet and replaced the
set.
