A good little valve adj. video
« on: January 20, 2018, 05:33:24 PM »
Still one of my favorite valve adjust videos.
Yeah, OK, it's in German....but good clear DIY of a valve adjust.

So you know you've adjusted the valves correctly if, after reassembly, you start up the scooter and a dog barks back at you.  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Stig,
That's a very good video; just asking if that is the euro model of the Like 200i engine?
Sorry, I don't speak any German

No, just a good little sample of a valve adjustment. ...on what looks like a small Chinese 4 stroke.
The methods are very similar on 4 stroke scooters.

There is a very good video on YouTube on doing a valve adjustment on the Like 200i. There is a link buried here somewhere as well.

Yep, our Canadian member, exhalent99, made this one a few years ago.

OK thanks, I was just wondering how to determine TDC on our Kymco Like engines; some are completely different.
My Bajaj Chetak 150 is not the same, and has a manufacturer update to find TDC that came after the service manual was put out.
Pain in the butt, or what makes owning these scoots fun?
I'm for the fun option,
