Default primary chain

I've tried to adjust my chain a couple times but haven't had much luck. There's about an inch of slack in the top strand but the bottom strand is tight. I can barely pry it up an 1/8" with a screw driver. Will bumping the start button move the slack to the bottom strand? I thought of this today but won't get a chance to try this out till Friday so do you think this will help me out? If not has anyone got any tips on doing this?
&nbsp\\;
Thanks

why do you want slack in the bottom strand?&nbsp\\; The service manual only addresses the upper strand which should be less than an inch (not looking at the sm right now).&nbsp\\; My bottom strand as taught
