Hey guys just making a post because I think it may help some people. My 156FMI Engine'd motorcycle over the last few months has been getting worse at idling, and loosing power when hot. and the carb was fine. If it dropped below 3.5K Rpm it would just die. It was coming time to re do my valves again, so I broke out the feeler gauge, got it to TDC anndd...
both rocker arms were tight ontop of the valve. No clearance at all. I set the valves to 0.15MM for both intake and exhaust, and now it idles from cold perfectly, Idles fine after ragging it about, and has more power.
