Re: CCT Change Tomorrow
mmm, ok - that makes the assumption I've ever checked my valve clearances
 (which I haven't), is there a way of doing this without taking tops off engines?

Re: CCT Change Tomorrow
Yes but it is harder than just taking valve cover off

Re: CCT Change Tomorrow
this is beginning to sound more than what I can do tbh. Is it worth starting this if I will probably get it wrong?

Re: CCT Change Tomorrow

Re: CCT Change Tomorrow
Before you attack tensioner;
unbolt horn move rad forward take valve cover off [what you did in post #4] Then you need to look at cams, they should be pointing away from each other like this \ / it is pretty obvious, you can see the lobes of the cams (pointy parts) .... they should be pointing outwards away from the valves. If they look different and valve is open then rotate the engine another 360 degrees [like in post #4] (crank is geared 1:2 with cams so this will turn cams 180degs)

Re: CCT Change Tomorrow
ok - carbs are off, the o-rings for the choke plungers are knackered though, is there anywhere on the high street that sells generic o-rings? (about 1 cm internal Diameter, 1.2 external)

Re: CCT Change Tomorrow
Right, the CCT is out and it appears to be fine, as it works the same as the others I have, screws in ok and springs out ok???? So shall I just put it back in again?
this is what it looks like down the hole,there's this mark and then a sort of a lip and a mark in the metal below that - look normal to you?
