Alton starter.

Hi,
Has anyone changed an Alton electric starter Sprag Clutch chain on an a commando 850.
I have emailed Alton to ask if there's a limit on chain slack that's acceptable but haven't received a reply.

My Alton starter was fitted by a competent engineer about 4 years ago and has had quite limited use, but I'm finding it has quite a bit travel slack in the chain roughly about 1" to 11/4" in total.
Is there any guides around on youtube or any other means to carry the work out myself if it requires being changed.

thanks for any advice
Neil.
