Has long has the links are movable the chain Is o.k.Here Is where WD 40 can help to loosen things up...you can also give the links a twist If any are tight and not movable.Put both hands on your chain now and push & pul the chain Is there any play In the chain...I had to throw a customers chain away the other day too much play?
