Yep, it seems to be working great now! Even the tapping noise quieted down a little, to the point where it was at before changing the chain. I had accidentally forgot to switchover to diesel before shutting down, and with all the cranking it might have got sticky veg oil somewhere that caused something to stick. After I get showered up I am going to take it for a spin to see if the power situation has improved with the new chain.
