Set the piston near top dead center of the cylinder
compression stroke (both valves fully closed) by pulling
the recoil starter slowly.
When the piston is near top dead center of the
compression stroke, the " " mark [1] on the starter
pulley [2] will align with the top hole [3] on the recoil
starter case [4].
If the exhaust valve is open, use the recoil starter to turn
the crankshaft one additional turn and align the " "
mark on the starter pulley with the top hole on the recoil
starter case again.
Insert a thickness gauge [1] between the rocker arm [2]
and valve stem [3] to check the valve clearance.
VALVE CLEARANCE:
IN: 0.15 ± 0.02 mm (0.006 ± 0.001 in)
EX: 0.20 ± 0.02 mm (0.008 ± 0.001 in)
If adjustment is necessary, proceed as follows.
Hold the rocker arm pivot [4] and loosen the rocker arm
pivot lock nut (6 mm) [5].
Adjust by turning the rocker arm pivot until there is a
slight drag on the thickness gauge.
Hold the rocker arm pivot [1] and retighten the rocker
arm pivot lock nut (6 mm) [2] to the specified torque.
TORQUE: 10 N·m (1.0 kgf·m, 7 lbf·ft)
Recheck the valve clearance, and if necessary, readjust
the clearance.
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Do not reuse the
