First, it's not your chain that is the problem. It's more likely an issue with carb cleanliness or adjustments causing the engine to run poorly and thus die when warm at idle. (pull in clutch, engine drops to idle..)

There is a remote possibility your clutch is not adjusted right, but that should be more symptomatic when your stopped and in first gear (wanting to pull on you with clutch pulled in). If it's not doing that, then look at the carbs/running issue as poorly running.

As for the chain, you want it adjusted so that you have aprox 1" total flex up and down (1/2" either way) when you try to move the chain at the center between sprockets.
