i tore my foreman down, 411 miles on the ticker already. so i got it down to the motor to adjust the valves. well i get the piston to TDC (take a straw and set it in the plug hole til it comes all the way up) and i try to adjust them but i they seem to closed? can that be possible ? they rattle a bit though? what am i doing wrong? i think i am gonna try to move the piston to where i can get the feelers in it? please help aaron

You must be on the wrong stroke .. With the valve caps off turn the engine over watching the intake valve ,when the intake valve opens then closes watch for the "T" in the flywheel inspection hole .. This is TDC ..
