Okay after looking at some videos and thinking, I think my cct is okay, however how do i hold the latch open as i screw it back in?  Since the plunger is completely out, if i screw it back in, wont the latch stop it retracting?

Yes.
From memory: loosen the bolt at the back, unlatch the plunger and push it all the way back against the spring, then tighten the screw at the back and that'll secure the plunger fully retracted. Bolt the assembly back on the engine then slacken off the bolt at the back... the plunger is then free to ratchet forward and tension the chain. Retighten the bolt at the back (it's too short to engage with the plunger now that is in its normal operating position).

Thanks, very handy to know.
