I adjust the cam chain by loosening the bolt. Then I turn the engine over a 1/4 turn using a wrench on the nut at the end of the crankshaft. Then tighten the bolt. However I doubt the noise is because the cam chain is loose. It is more then likely your carbs are out of sync. When the carbs are out of sync it will sound like the cam chain is about to fly out of the engine. One good way to tell is if it quiets down with a little throttle. Then it is the carbs, for sure.
