Starting and Running Problem...

Thank's Pete! that was a challenge for me!took me longer to explain it than it did for her to adjust the valves but sounds like she got it done...Good Job!!! now for some thread locker on that pesky loose adjuster nut,clean it real good with spray carb cleaner or brake parts cleaner,on the rocker arm put some paper towels under it so the cleaner doesnt go down in the oil pan and make sure it's good and dry before applying the thread locker.that should hold you till you get a new rocker arm and adjuster nut.

Thank you for everything Waggin!!!! I actually did just this before reading it... hehe... can you believe I figured something out for myself!!! haha. Not its in and I measured it at .023 cold. We will see how things go in the a.m. once it sets overnight.

Oh and speaking of rocker arms... how the heck do you get one of them buggers off??? I looked and looked and it seemed to be I would have to take off the whole rod they sit on... is that correct???

Once again THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
