Thinking of adjusting valves on your 4-Takter??
« on: May 25, 2016, 09:00:51 PM »
I like this video......
(maybe cause the guy has nice hands ?)
Should give one confidence to try it! I watched as many as I could find before starting.
If you have the LIKE200i - take a look at our member's excellent youtube on that as well!

Make certain you are at top-dead-center before checking & changing anything.
If you do NOT have up-down movement on those adjusters then you are not at top-dead-center - turn engine over and align with "T" again until you feel movement in both valves when you push-pull with your fingers.

Actually I think it is a female....until he does the exhaust valve.
Opinions? ?
