Default Tao Tao 250 spitting chain

Hey guys first post here. I have been around dirt bikes forever and street bikes even longer and this is driving me a little batty.
The chain is fine works great until I load the crap out of it. IE riding up a river bank or steep hill. I hear it jump once or twice and BANG off it comes.
I can't seem to get this right, the chain is straight as straight can be? I was wondering if the front sprocket could be sloppy or flexing and causing the issue?
Anyway I could use some suggestion and would really appreciate any help.
Dave

Yes it it quite tight and I only have the problem when it's heavily loaded on the climb or a sudden WOT of the throttle going uphill. I am a prtly bastid I might add 285
