For those of us, who might not know, which stroke, at Top Dead Center, should we use to set the valve clearance, exhaust, or compression? I believe it would make a lot of difference, myself. I noticed you did have it on the compression stroke.
Well for those that are new to this work you have two top dead centers (TDC) on a 4 stroke. And a compression release bump.. put your finger over the spark plug hole and rotate the engine slowly and watch the valve ,you will feel on the compression stroke pressure pushing your finger off the plug hole that's your compression stroke .now once you find that TDC rotate just alittle more and you will see the exhaust valve bump open real quick that's your compression release on the cam bumping it so it is easier to start your engine and once the the engine starts centrifugal force moves the compression release out of the way. So you really want to go a hair past TDC ,right after the bump to set your valve lash. Now when you get into what to set the valve lash at on a STOCK motor is recommended all over the place on the internet. I like to set mine at .004 at the intake and .006 on the exhaust. That's just my personal sweet spot on stock engines . When you have takin the govenor out and added racing parts like billit rods ,higher weight valve springs and flywheel and advances timing that changes everything . And may have to set your lash accordingly. But building an racing engine is another ball game....
@@LRT_DaViNcHy_787 literally going threw the same problem When I go to pull my cord it won’t pull but if I pull slightly with effort I can get the fly wheel to turn I was able to start it and it runs fine I’m just curious why it’s so hard to start. And literally nothing on the Internet helps
Keep the old governor arm and use it to install a return spring to it, I hooked mine to the ignition assembly(drilled to smal holes and used the same spring that come with the governor)
I was messing with my valve lash bc it locked up but when i Tightened the valve lash it stopped locking but when i turn it on i cant exerlerate it bugs and almost turns off idk what to do
Hey bro I had a question, I set my valve lash to ur specs but it still jerks back really hard when trying to start, is there anything I could do to fix this?
Readjust your valve lash. These engines have a compression release, on the exhaust valve you have to turn the engine slightly past top dead center to adjust the valve. If you don't the compression release won't work and you'll get the snap back when trying to pull start the engine.
Mines started being hard to start after I changed the valve springs
Same….. I put 22lbs valve springs and after u could not pull the chord ….
@@sailingvesselkuma4366 I put in 18lbs spring and have trouble with pulling couldn’t imagine yours.
@@sailingvesselkuma4366 your exhaust lash is too tight
@@sailingvesselkuma4366 Did u fix it?

What would be the valve lash for 212cc non Hemi?
0.003 intake
0.003 exhaust
So as long as ur screwdriver is as far out as can go, means it's top dead center right?

Hey brother I am having a similar problem with same 212cc Clone engine , but mine has too much compression and is extremely tight to pull .
Matt Noguera any fixes?
Try setting the valve lash to OE spec or if you have a cam whatever it suggests
Smh me 2 what do I do?

My 212 manco started before I transported it a hr on top on my jeep now I can't pull the cord. Any help?
I have a problem with my 212 cc predator engine it keeps accelerating to full power when i turn it on
Use a screw driver and turn the idle down
Probably you removed the governor but don’t a have throttle return spring

Is there a way to fix a non functioning compression release without removing the camshaft ?
My engine is realy easy to pull and doesnt start any suggestions?
check and make sure either of your valves arent stuck, if that doesnt work id check your piston rings.

what size feeler gauge did you use for exhaust & intake I'm having same issue not sure what the specs are
The Truth of the Matter I adjusted mine to .005 intake .007 exhaust thats what red beard said and my pulley gets tight any reccomendations ?
The Truth of the Matter No my pull start
Mine did the same og masoo did
The Truth of the Matter I only took of the valve cover and it pulls perfect without the sparkplug in it
The Truth of the Matter couldn’t have said it myself. Thank you sir
Hemi or non hemi they both perform the same. I know hemi head is supposed to flow better
I have to much compression

@@SuperGlacierGirl man make a video on it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@SuperGlacierGirl thanks having this problem
@@dmcalister4505 We will have one on our channel shortly :) An old school simple tried and true method
I got a question
I adjust my valves at a loose 0
Thank you ... Sir. 👍
