Tighten that sucker up!

you have to be able to rotate the carrier or something.,

use a new STRONG chain, oviously you need it..

i dont know of any company that makes tensioners for the lakota, but I'm sure you can find one, or fab one up...
look for any kind of chain tensioners, or rollers.

you want 1/4 inch of play in chain
