Cam tension adjustment question

I tried to adjust the cam chain tension, but the adjustment screw on the underside of the bike seemed to have zero resistance until it was completely screwed in. I first loosened the locking piston/nut. I'm almost wondering if the cam tension adjuster springs could be missing?

I've attached a video of the bike running if sound helps. What am I missing here?

Can I get some help with some wiring questions?

How can I use a new coil with the old condenser? It’s tested and works fine. The old connector on the condenser fits the male ends just fine but wondering what goes where. Also, the two wires out of the main harness that are disconnected are confusing me.

Also, I believe a new rectifier (?) was added at some point and is just kinda floating there all taped up, but the wires from the old one are still connected to the main harness, so I’m a little confused.
Just need help putting together this puzzle that the previous owner left me with. Thanks!

Next question. This seems like too much lean.

I stole this kickstand off an 80 ct110. Is it too short or is this normal? It feels like it’s on the verge of tipping over, it doesn’t look as bad in the pictures

Mystery wire?

Hey

Just got a 1986 ct90 for $500AUD and wasn't sure if it ran. It does!

Now I'm trying to make it run nicer and better.

Any idea what these wires are? They're coming out of the headlight, seemingly back towards the seat area.

The lights work, but are barely on at an idle, then get a lot brighter as the engine revs up. I put a new 6v battery in but I have a feeling it's just running off the coil?

Cheers
