Primary Chain?

Replaced springs and rollers and it worked fine for a while.
Pulled the starter clutch again and replaced three stripped bolts but it's still
rattling when I hit the start button
I have a replacement starter clutch and am going to replace the whole thing this time
What about the primary chain?
It looks fine - a little loose maybe. How do I know if it should be replaced?

Dumb question: do you mean the chain connecting the starter gear to the flywheel drive hub?

750 four, the chain connecting the crankshaft to the secondary shaft, which then spins the clutch.
