Valve calibration

[fjmartin]

Be careful when removing the valve bolts as the heads are kind of soft. Also, make sure to note which cover is which. They can be put on either way but don't actually seal if you do. Lastly the tutorial from CSC on how to do it has one thing I do differently and that is I don't actually remove the entire tank. I just tilt it up using a short block of wood. Gets it out of the way but don't have to disconnect the fuel line.

I made a blanking plug for the tank end (both male and female) stops fuel leaking out and tank of I find just easier.
Also only tank off is a 5 min job if you need to do jobs under it (not enough for valves tho) I posted some pics in another thread
Just another possible tip etc
