VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENTS
Adjust valves in firing order (1-5-3-6-2-4), with piston of cylinder being adjusted at TDC of compression stroke. Use a feeler gauge to measure clearance between rocker arm eccentric and tip of valve.
To adjust valve clearance, loosen nut on rocker arm and insert a rod in eccentric hole. Rotate eccentric until proper clearance is obtained and tighten lock nut.
