Adjusting valve procedure

I did some corrective annotations on the original video I made. Even the clearances. I used the Honda CG125 manual. the Chinese manual says .002-.003"

Great thanks guys. I got my Mikuni I'm going to drop a 110 and set the doohiky thing to the 2nd slot. MotoCheez seems to have good luck with that. I will then tinker once a get a baseline.

I adjusted my valves tonight, and I could not find a mark or notch on my case to line the mark up with.
So I just put the line in the center of the circle.
Anyone else have this issue or am I just not looking in the right place for the mark on the case?

I had the same issue, and did the same thing. I just lined it up best I could with the center of the circle.

I hope someone can correct me on this, but with a cam, do you have a few degrees where the pushrods arent hitting a cam lobe? So theoretically youd have a few degrees of freedom when adjusting your valves, right? Maybe im not thinking about it correctly though.
