2001 f30 timing belt tension

[bundybare]

Gidday,
Would anyone be familiar with a 2001 yamaha four stroke 30, and be able to tell me what the story is with timing belt tension.
I have searched everywhere but cant seem to find anything about it anywhere other than the owners manual stating that if it is loose, it needs tensioning.
I cannot see any form of tensioner on it, it is definately too loose and is prob why she is running a bit rough with the odd miss. It does look to be in good condition tho so i thought i might ask.
Thanks
Al

Ok, silly question I suppose, Its not there so it doesnt have one.
Anyway rang dealers far and wide and no parts kept in stock from yamaha dealers
Spoke to a Merc one that is close to me and did some number checking, the merc timing belt is the same as the yam anyway and it was less than half the price.
Starting to go off yamaha at the moment, support is rubbish over here, as well as expensive.
