@pwebb stunning resto!!!
@trailwright i think it might be due the backwards pressure on the pedal from the lamppost keeping the bike upright and freewheel not quite rotating back to the next pawl causing the chain to sag?

agree looks a little saggy in those pics but seems ok since. I completely dismantled and cleaned the rear mech and internal spring during resto and it has super strong tension still (Suntour of that era are very robust) I also fitted a NOS izumi chain which is v good quality. All my other pics show a nice taut chain in same gear so I reckon the theory above is a correct one .
