The timing chain has an automatic tensioner at the rear of the engine cylinders, if the chain is loose the tensioner is either defective or the chain is stretched to the point the tensioner can no longer take up the normal slack created by wear.

I have a 1985 Dodge Ram 50 I put a new timing belt on started it and it ran fine but I forgot to tighten the tensioner. I tightened the tensioner but now it won't start. What do I do to fix?
Personally i would recheck cam timing. You probably moved cam in relation to crankshaft when you tightened tensioner.

How do I tighten the chain on my 1982 Suzuki rm250
Back of the rear axle nut, then back of the adjuster lock nuts. You then wind the adjuster bolts in equal amounts on each side.
When chain has correct tension tighten down the adjuster lock nuts and the axel nut.
