So perhaps I'm slightly not overly excited about smashing my hands up there to do the adjustment (ie lazy) but.... I'm about to try my first valve adjustment, is there a reason we don't drop the exhaust out of the way? Seems it'd be MUCH easier without that blocking all the workspace!

Seems like it! Getting the engine out doesn't seem too bad,
This is a great step by step for rookies like me... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMesGrjgcvg&t=1s So I guess I'll order the jack adapter and get to work. Not really sure what to do after I get it out, but I'll figure that out when I get it out! http://tangerineracing.com/tools.htm Thanks for telling me to stop driving it before it turned into something worse, |

I have carbs, so no fuel injection lines to worry about... Actually have a single carb so while it's out might as well push that to a double carb setup... and replace the leaking seal/gasket on the side shifter thing... I can see this will be an expensive drop. |
