this morning (must have been 32-) i tried to start my car and it wouldn't ignite! I tried it twice before running away scared and both times it turned over and made the starting shriek but didn't ignite. is this still a symptom of the tensioner? I'm ordering the part tonight, but I don't have a helms manual. are the instructions given above all I need to know?
I know it was posted before, I'll see if I can find it for you.

i found this thread, https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.ph...c=320897&st=25, which gives a pictured DIY tutorial.
Oh, btw, so the fact that my car didn't start...does that mean anything? Is it safe to try again or am I damaging the chain? Please tell me I haven't damaged something else.

I have this noise too. It is only when it's cold out. I am 90% sure it is coming from the starter.
If you go find a car with a normal ignition system and crank the key when its already running you'll hear a VERY similar noise.

So sorry if this is a repeat question, but do we know exactly what's happening and what is grinding on what to cause this noise when you have a faulty TCT?
The loud distinct clicking is resonating from the aluminum/plastic chain guide from the loss of tension.
