X18 Valave inspection/Adjustment?

[james1300]

08' 110cc X18 . Where do I learn about 'How-To-Inspect/Adjust the valves correctly?
What 'brand' engine do I really have?
I did a 'search' and found some vague stuff on a Lafian engine
Thanks for putting up with the questions.

If I remember right we have replicas of CT70's motors.
This might help pg 8

This is my engine. Dano removed the entire fly wheel cover.
On my bike theres 2 covers one used to rotate the flywheel, and one to observe markings on the Flywheel.
What am I looking at with these 'petrograph's?bluelaugh

The Clymer manual for Honda's wants (0.002in) clearance for BOTH intake and exhaust?
Seems tight to me.

Has anyone seen a how-to VIDEO on valve adjustment for the 1100cc X-18 engines?

[Blitz$M.Inc.$]

this is exactly how you do it
YouTube - How to Adjust Honda 50/70 cc Valves
i use .005 intake and .007 for the exhaust

sweet!

I saw a great video on youtube.com for valve adjustment on a crf50.
same basic procedure. My 114cc Mini-Chopper has a little cover you can open, on the crankcase to see the TDC mark.
Finding small/narrow enough feeler gauges might be a problem. I bought the usual one at the auto parts store and it is too wide to fit inside the inspection cover, to properly use it.
Anybody know where I can find NARROW feeler gauges online?

Nope that's why I have narrow feelers I cut thinner with my tin snips.

Heres a great Valve Adjustment how-to I found a few weeks back and it worked great for my original hondas and my clones.
