Timing chain tension = non running FT500 on bike for sale?

A guy has one for sale locally for $750 obo, and states that is why it's not running. Gotta love all those "all it takes to get it running is....." ads.

;D ;D It generally means "It quit running and I have absolutely no clue what is wrong".
For what it's worth, the FT timing chain tension-er is self adjusting.
Lefty:
As Scottly said, the timing chain tensioner is sprung to adjust on it's own- If I were you I'd grab that bike up, even if there's internAl issues you will have another bike you can get parts from.
johnnymot1:
I made my offer a day ago, and letting him think about it. I do have a running motor in a bent ft500 frame waiting to go in. Hopefully I will get an agreement and pick it up this weekend. I feel $400 is a fair offer.....hope he does as well.
Luke:
Fingers crossed for ya! :)

Sounds like a fair offer to me.
Good luck
