Just read the Pelican artical on valve adjusting. Seems like a lot of work with the ramps and then jacking. How about using a remote starter? Seems like it would be a lot easier. Or do they overshoot? I saw a remote starter from my flaps for $12. Eddy

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/flipa.gif) I have been doing valve adjustments like that for over 10 years......

Cap'n... It only takes me about 30 minutes on jack stands, and about 20 on the lift.....

But usually I am doing other things at the same time, so I don't really time it.

"Other things"? You mean like cleaning the covers, replacing the gaskets, changing the oil and cleaning the screen? Me, too. And I've been doing it this way for 35 years. 5 minutes for the valves on this 912 on the lift, and instructing out part time student at the same time. Wanna race? LOL, The Cap'n
