My bike's chain has a pretty bad tight spot: I have it adjusted so that there's the required 1" of movement when it's at it's tight spot, but there's at least 3" of movement for the rest of it. I can hear the tight spot while rolling, and even feel a very slight resistance if I'm coasting very gently.
How bad is this? Do I need a new chain (it only has maybe 5k on it or so) or will it work itself out? Sprocket looks fine, just a slight wear on the teeth. It's a 525 series chain and steel sprockets, and not exactly a high HP bike.
