Squiggy is on a distinguished road
Hmm. Found this video. I admit I'm a little confused as to whether the spring does any meaningful work after startup. The video says, "as the chain slackens the tensioner is indexed forward by the spring" but I'm not sure what would cause the chain to slacken, other than turning off the motor.
