Inspect the valve-to-rocker arm clearance after every
25 hours of operation. This should be done in a clean, dust-
free environment.

operation, take the unit to an authorized service center.

rocker arm cover. Remove the cover and set aside.
 Align rocker arms by pulling the recoil starter grip just until
the deep hole in the belt pulley is located at the bottom
as shown in figure 24.
 Place the feeler gauge under each rocker arm and mea-
sure the gap as shown in figure 25. The gap should be
between .0045 in. and .005 in. for both rocker arms.
NOTE: Use a standard automotive .005 in. feeler gauge.
The feeler gauge should slide between the rocker arm
and valve stem with a slight amount of resistance but
without binding.
 If the valve clearance is not .005 in., the clearance should
be adjusted as follows:
 While holding a wrench on the flats of the adjusting nut
with one hand, loosen the retaining nut with a second
wrench as shown in figure 26.
MAINTENANcE

Once the gap setting is correct, hold the wrench on
the flats of the adjusting nut and retighten the retaining
nut securely.
