Chris, the chain is stretched so much it rides over the crank gear without engaging it. The cam gear has knife edges on the points of the teeth and the chain has cut grooves along every tooth. The chain slop is so severe it broke the oil tube which dried out the chain even faster. The neat thing is the crank gear has no wear! Go figure. Thanks Dan H
