I had the same issue and scratched my head many times trying to figure out why when climbing a steep hill the chain would skip a tooth- I'd check the tension and it would be tight--- I think you just solved this issue!!! it's got to be the twist on the motor- the new Honda engine is rigid mounted and it doesn't skip a tooth anymore. If you were going to put a tensioner on - I'd think you'd need the type that floats & compresses the top & bottom of the chain together.
