I carefully read King of the Ozarks how-to on adjusting Foreman 500 valves and prepared myself for my first adjustment. His directions were simple and clear. I adjusted the valves to .006 and put everything back together. I gave it a press on the start button and the valves ping very very load now. I don't know what could be wrong. I was able to find the stamped "T" mark on the crank. It seems like the valves have a very wide gap now but I am certain I used a .006 feeler guage.
Can someone explain how the feeler guage should feel when I insert it? Will I be able to put a .005 or a .007 feeler guage in after I have tightend everything down? I plan on riding this weekend, so could anyone give me a tip on what I need to do? Thanks.
