It was running great until I cut it off to put gas in it.I kicked it over and it sounded like a chain was rubbing on something inside the engine. I think the timing chain may have jumped off the idler somehow. Is there a way to put it back in place without taking the engine apart?

I may be all wet, but I don't think there is any adjuster on the 90, just an idler. They make a Schlliinnngging sound when running if they are getting worn. I did have one that the idler was worn down and a new one helped quite a bit. The chain has no master link so if you need to change it you will have to open the cases to get it off of the crankshaft. Honda used to carry replacement chains with a master link but the local Honda mechanics to me that they don't trust them, to go ahead and change out a new chain. Get a good repair manual.

I assume it is still running but noisy. If so problem may be minor. Try this - directly in front of the gear shift on the side of the engine is a screw and locknut. With the engine warm and at idle, losen the locknut and turn the screw to the left. When the chain gets quite, retighten the locknut. If no luck, almost directly below this screw on engine bottom is a bolt/plug. Remove this bolt/plug. Inside you will see a screw. Tighten this screw slowly until noise goes away.
good luck

I used to be a honda small motorcycle mechanic way beack when. If thats what has happened, there is no way to fix it unless you take it apart. The camshaft timing will be affected. You could try turning the engine backward (put it in high gear with spark plug out???) to see if whatever is out of place will jump back into correct alignment, this is a long shot though in my opinion. Take it apart and repair it, these engines are really simple to work on.
