That bolt that has been chewed up by the chain, is a common issue with the CX. Many of them are running around today with bolts just like that. Wouldn't worry about welding the housing. Looks like you're missing the chain adjuster locking bolt. It's a shoulder bolt with an O ring from memory, thats resides in the adjuster in the oval slot. Good videos. Keep 'em coming.
Im gonna rebuild the chain tensioner with a different unit, I'm thinking of nicking a auto tensioner, like others have done and machine up my own blades from T28 or some other hard wearing plastic.
Ha, I knew what the giant gear and the smaller gear were instantly, starter gears, Ducati Panigale has the same setup. Large gear is missing clutch that connects it to flywheel. The starter has a fixed pinion (no throw out gear),the pinion, the small gear and larger gear are constantly messed, the missing clutch on the large gear only engages when the large gear is spinning faster that the crank shaft, otherwise gears are all stationary thus the bearing on the crank shaft. They did it that way on the Panigale because it allowed a smaller and lighter starter, and the starter gears don't add any rotational mass of the engine. Ducati also did something trick with the exhaust cams so the act act as decompressors below idea speed, again so they could run asmaller starter and save weight. Other ducati's likely have similar gear and clutch arrangement, but I didn't expect to see same set up on a much older honda engine. Great video.
Yeah, I knew what it was as well. I was sat at home by myself, yelling at the computer like a mental "STARTER CLUTCH, MATT". Of course, by now it will all have been figured out. Really common arrangement on Japanese engines.

Yeah those cam chains were a serious problem
