OAP Ted's CB400F2 rebuild - engine not run for about 12 years.

<< < (79/95) > >>

Sesman:
Plus one on plugs out using the “big nut”.

I tend to adjust using 1thou more on the feeler gauge when nipping up. It seems to result in a nice sliding fit at the specified clearance.

Just saying what works for me.

Bryanj:
The reason i say dont use the big nut is i have seen too many where turning with the plugs in(be all right just this once!)breaks the ears off the advancer cam, its easier to say dont than explain it ever time and as i am getting older and crotchetier thats just me!

Oddjob:
I knew that was the reason Bryan, I just say remove the plugs. Strange that Honda don't mention doing that, you'd think they'd be more proactive.

Bryanj:
Well we all know Honda aint infalable, i have one of the very early small workshop manuals which can read odly shall we say, and the parts book does say there are 4 gear selectors

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Thanks everyone for your input on adjusting the valve clearances - today I have given it some looking at plus I found this chart in one of the Manuals  that came with the bike.`

I hope to report the job has been completed soon depending on my energy levels and the "To Do" list from the Gaffer before I go into the garage again!
