200X problems

[84honda 200X]

My timeing jumped a link or two about 3 days ago and when i put a wrench on the crank shaft bolt and try to get the cam off the cam moves the chain and the chain moves around the crank shaft sprocket and i dont remeber it doin this before. Is this normal or is my crank shaft sprocket goin to hell? :(

It's hard to tell from your discription of whats happening. I would say that the lower sprocket is worn out. I would remove all three pieces for inspection and if any are worn out replace all three.

The lady I got my 200x from said she thought it was out of time. How to you check the timing?

Take the 2 caps off the stator cover and take the sdi unit out so you can see the cam sprocket and turn the crank to top dead center and thereis a little cicle on the cam shaft sprocket and ilign that with the V mark on the rocker cover.
Could my chain not be tight enough that its couseing this????

sounds like the bolts broke on the bottem sprocket or the gear is toast..
