G16 TDC Question for Valve Adjust
I have been reading around on valve adjustments and have a question to make sure I am doing it right.
I have a 2000 Yamaha G16. From what I have read my valve clearance is .004" at TDC. I want to make sure I am at the correct TDC. To determine this I am sticking a screw driver in the spark plug hole. But I have 2 TDC, correct? How do I know which one is the correct TDC for valve adjust? |

Re: G16 TDC Question for Valve Adjust
You want TDC on compression stroke when both valves are completely closed.

Just so I am clear, If I were to put my finger over the spark plug hole and rotate to compression stroke it would blow air out of the spark plug hole. Not suck in?

Re: G16 TDC Question for Valve Adjust
Made my valve adjust to .004"
The original clearance was .010" Is that enough to create a "valve rattle" when I go up a hill? Or is that just the sound the cart makes when laboring up a hill? |

Re: G16 TDC Question for Valve Adjust
Ok, I adjusted my valves to .004 and the engine runs rough going up a hill. When I turn around and go down that hill it runs better.
Any ideas on why it runs rough when in a strain? |
