trek97 said:I think I will, but wait till springtime, til then any rides will probably be minimal. I will be there re-setting valves regardless. A good time to do it all at once.
Something I have been happy about.
This engine seems to be very “forgiving” as compared to messing w the 360 all those years.
Valves are easy to reach and took maybe 10 minutes total.
I haven’t made any changes or adjustments to carbs, other than cleaning and new rubber and whatnot.
It’s running surprisingly nice with the quick static time set. I haven’t put the strobe on it yet.
Adjusting the clutch is virtually nothing.
As of now I have no complaints with anything. It seems just a nice setup.
