Smells of Raw Fuel
I have been wrestling with my valve tappets and wanted to get opinions of how the feeler gauge should feel.
Should it just be touching, should it drag, should it be tight, but not have to be forced. My intake valves are driving me nuts. Either too loose for my judgment or too tight. I'm having trouble finding a sweet spot.
Also, my carbs are tuned, cam tensioner good, ect, but left side spark plug is a little dark and has some oil on it. Not as bad as the manual says in "oil fouling", but a little damp and smells rich. While the right spark plug looks normal per manual. The left is also backfiring. I synched my carbs yesterday and mix screw is 3 out. I am really hoping it's not a ring or guide. That's why I am checking the valves.
Thanks all
