FAQ: General Information

4. Looks like I need to remove the carburetor & exhaust manifold to adjust valves. Is that correct? - Top

With an engine on my work bench, at eye level, with classical music playing in the background, I routinely check valves without removing either of these components; but other than with center cabin engines (like Catalina 30's, Tartans, Ericson 35's, etc.), I can't really imagine having the room to access the valve chamber without (at least) removing the carburetor. - Updated: January 10, 2004
