The more I search, the more answer's I find. I'm running a 76 motor in my 72 bike using the 72 carb's. I read in a post somewhere that you should tune for the year of the carb you use. Would this necessarily be true for the valve's also.

Q. What valve tappet clearance do I use?
A. All Models 1974-84: Inlet: 0.003 inches (0.075mm.) Exhaust: 0.006 inches (0.15mm.)
A. All Models 1970-73: Inlet: 0.006 inches (0.15mm.) Exhaust: 0.012 inches (0.30mm.)
Note: Set valve clearance with cylinder being worked on at top dead center on compression stroke.
