Hi everyone, picked up this bike about 2 months ago and with 0 knowledge about bikes, im slowly learning and replacement what I can on this bike. I really want to learn all I can about the bike.
Ive been doing some searching on the forums about valve adjustments and noticed everyone seem to say that the eccentric spot on the rocker arm should be facing outward. So I pulled off the covers to take a look and the left one is pointing inward. Now i tried adjusting it to face outward but it would either cut off the engine or start tapping really loud. So i just left it where it was not tapping and the idle was around 1200rpm.
Is that something I need to be worried about? And to fix it - is it just as simple as removing the points, pull off cover, pull off the rocker arm and re-adjust so the eccentric spot would face outward?
Also, attached in a pic of the stator. Im not sure what to look for yet but if does anything seem out of sorts?
Thanks everyone for your time and any help/input is greatly appreciated!
Best regards!
