Gump Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 You stick that thing in there and see if it fits? It's a valve, have no idea how to get to them on your model but you check them hot or cold whatever the manual says and piston at top dead center. Feeler gauges ring a bell? I don't know what you Do or don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Butters Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) read the link i sent you - its a step by step detailed write up of how to do valves on a husky 610.... and ive never seen one that you adjust between cam and arm, but i have only messed with a couple, so who knowsthis is how ive always seen it done...locking nut on arm, undo it, adjust arm down to spec, tighten locking nut, double check measurementand according to the link i posted, this is the proper way to do it on a husky 610 Edited April 6, 2011 by Steve Butters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gump Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 U guys are on it but be careful some motors u check cold some hot. You want the tension on the feeler gauge to feel like your zipper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudgeDredd Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) O'Reillys auto has the feeler gauges you need.How many miles? Chances are youll most def need to adjust if its not near brand new (then you would have no reason to check). That involves pulling the cams and buying new shims then redoing the timing and such. Its pretty simple I just redid the clearances on my zx10. You can order shims individually or in small kits depending on what you need. You should definitely use a service manual if youve never done this work before though (speaking for info on sport bike but same ideas)After reading that link it looks like you have the easier way out by just being able to adjust them. Same ideas though. Gauges between, measure and correct. Looks like no cam stuff in play with that bike Edited April 7, 2011 by JudgeDredd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 yeah i just bought a regular set of feeler gauges at napa or whatever for 2 dollars, then just bent them to where i needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
