OK - here's the verdict after the weekend. Installed new bushing, ensured appropriate slack in chain and put a little grease inside the bushing. Worked great. Will follow that maintenance - and get a new 11tooth driver as there does seem to be some play in there that probably aggravates the situation.


So, didn't fix after all. Same sound at times and then it wouldn't start at all - making sounds that were horrible. Ends up the flywheel nut had backed off a bit and the flywheel was "loose". Took off, cleaned threads, bought new nut and then re-tightened with locktite. Works like a charm now. Engine guy knew exactly what was wrong when he heard it up close.

Thanks again for all those that offered advice.
