• When piston #3 is at TDC on the compression
stroke, align the TDC mark a on the A.C. mag-
neto rotor with the mark b on the A.C. magneto
cover.
NOTE:
TDC on the compression stroke can be found when
the camshaft lobes are turned away from each
other.
• Measure the valve clearance with a thickness
gauge 1.
NOTE:
• If the valve clearance is incorrect, record the
measured reading.
• Measure the valve clearance in the following
sequence.
