Any suggestions on setting chain tension?

I can't remember exactly what Michael told me about setting the chain tension on my chain drive. I think he said one good finger between the swingarm and chain in front of the swingarm pass-through hole. But at that tension the chain rubs on the nub that sticks up in the swingarm hole. Any help appreciated.

Thank you, Doug

Two fingers at that spot.

Under acceleration it will be ribbon tight (not touching) and on decel it lays on that feature of the chain rub so the chain side plates don't saw a hole through it.
