On my 1958 Matchless G3 the chain tension on the Primary alternator clutch is 3/4†and I can't make out in the manual if it's meant to be 3/4†or 3/8â€.
Cant open the Matchless Clueless manuals any more so struggling to get info.
Anyone help please!!!

Re: Alternator primary chain
If you zoom in on the text on page 54 of the 1960 Owners Manual
http://archives.jampot.dk/book/Owners_m ... models.pdf
(which I'd guess is the same as for your '58 as far as chain adjustment is concerned) it clearly reads 3/8" whip.
