i'm sure this has been covered already.
I'll be trying it today and then dialing the carbs after. easier to do on the ground instead of in the car... I know that much. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) KT |

If you are using a feeler gauge, there is a certain "feel" when you slide the feeler through the gap. Of course, pull the covers off by cracking each nut loose from the inside out, then take them all the way off. Helps to reduce warpage.
You should be able to slide the feeler gauge around with a little resistance. If this is your first sixer adjustment, go through it twice. While the engine is out, don't forget to mark the three spot on the crank pulley on the flywheel as well. It may take a few tries to really get it right, but a good valve adjust will have a "tickle, tickle, tickle" sound to it, not a "tac,tac,tac". Have fun! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
