Guys. Looks like the car is fixed. It was the valve adjustment. With it adjusted to spec measuring rocker-cam lobe, the idle problems are gone. The engine is a little noiser now, but at least it idles properly. I'd be looking at doing the same cb if you are still having idle issues and poor fuel consumption
Nah
Mine is fine thanks.
Filled up 33 liters on 440kms
Works out to be 7.5ltr/100km
So my consumption is fine too.
Adjusting got a bit to do with how much drag you give the feeler.
Maybe we just do it diffeent
So which has greater clearance?
From cam or from valve?
I would prefer tighter clearance.....
same design maybe, never seen kdwap setup. might blind me.Quote:

Righto. The distance valve-rocker is smaller than the distance lobe-rocker.
We may have done it differently. It's much harder to get the feeler on the valve, and it probably isn't a nice flat straight surface under there.
Every case is different - I'm happy to stick with what the manual says and have my engine work properly :thumbsup:
Edit: there's a chance something happened and one or more of the valve-rocker clearances were too tight. Seems unlikely because Adam checked them quite a few times, but I didn't check them all before re adjusting it lobe-rocker. Either way I'm happy because my engine is okay now :)
I bet pope stuffed it up on purpose so you would kdwap.
Warned you about it, didn't I.
Hahah, you did
Good to hear you got it sorted... Strange that was the issue, but I guess it comes down to feel, tools etc...
The method that went wrong for you works for me, but then again, I'm old & have done it plenty of times before.
Ah well... guess that was bad advice then lol :p

There's no doubt the engine was quieter like that, and it felt like it had a little more mid range too. Not worth the possible idle dramas for me at the moment though.Quote:
