Author Message   1_mike Posted on Saturday, July 31, 2010 - 01:16 am:        Just curious if I need to go by the listed valve check interval, or since I adjusted mine on the loose side at about 4000 miles, can I stretch the mileage a bit before the next check/adjustment ? Thanks Mike   Zac4mac Posted on Saturday, July 31, 2010 - 10:27 am:        I just finished the second one at 25k. At 12k they were tight but in spec, this time I replaced 6 of 8 shims. When moving the shims, use a magnet. I spent 3 days with arthroscopic surgical tools, locating a shim that jumped into the motor.

It never needed any shim adjustment...at just over 99,000 miles. Was hoping the Rotax would at least be 1/4 of that. Thanks Zack Mike (Message edited by 1_mike on July 31, 2010)
