Finally built it but one problem

OK, here's what I have. I took a picture of the chain/tensioner alignment issue 2door was referring to and attached it. Had to rotate it for this site to upload it but you should "get the picture". Let me know if this is what you were looking for. I'll take another picture after I bend it to align. First I'm going to take matthurd's suggestion and hammer out the tensioner bracket. BUT WAIT! I had an idea. I figured the hammering was to take out some of the curve in the tensioner bracket so it could grab my undersized chainstay better, right? Then I figured if I hammered one side(the one without the pulley on it)completely flat that would probably solve the problem. Then I remembered the plate that bikeberry sent me with my 48cc skyhawk kit. I believe it was intended as a universal "t" mount. The one you would use for mounting the front of the engine to an oversized downtube. The one you would use if you were going to drill through the downtube. I checked the spacing of the holes on that flat steel plate and guess what? They match up exactly with the holes on the tensioner bracket. SO..... if I swap the "t" bracket plate with the curved tensioner bracket I may solve the problem with zero hammering. I'll post once I've tried it and tell ya'll what happens.

Well, where do I start. Swapped the curved tensioner bracket that came stock with the kit with the flat "t" bracket and it solved the loose tensioner problem. The thing was on there solidly. Instead of bending/twisting the tensioner arm to align the pulley I said "let's see if I took up the slack on the chain enough". So I started the engine and engaged the clutch and within seconds the pulley was ripped to shreds and the tensioner arm almost tore up my spokes. So I removed the broken tensioner and decided to shorten my chain as that was my only option remaining since I was without a tensioner. It felt a little tight when I was done but I figured it would loosen after being run for a while. So I started her up again and engaged the clutch. Just as fast if not faster the chain came flying off. Busted my master link. Lost one of the pins that held it in place. So now I have a non-working drivetrain. I ordered parts to start again. Got a new tensioner-the one with four bolts. Ordered a new master link as well as a half link. My plan when I get the stuff in the mail is to install the half link first. See what the chain feels like. Before I removed the links, when I still had a tensioner, the chain was really loose. When I removed the links to shorten the chain after the tensioner busted it was extremely tight. So I'm thinking the half link will put it at a useable length. We'll see. Anyone have a suggestion for how I can tell if I have the chain at the right tension? (i.e. no tensioner - chaain not too tight as to bust and not too loose as to derail?)
