Opinions About Valve Adjustment ??

I know what the recomeded valve adjustment is but I'm courious if any one has any different opinions of experiences with different settings? [undecided] [ like 8-18 or 12 -22 verses 10-20 ]<br>I have tried different settings and just wondered if anyone else has and what you found. ???<br><br>[ faster spool up , more power , less power , ect, ]<br><br><br> Chime in if you have any opinions, ideas, or experiences.<br><br><br>Just wanting to see if any better preformance has been found or if any body thinks along the same lines as me. <br><br>Thats a scary thought <br><br> : Eddie : 8)<br><br>

I do the 10 - 20. Haven't ever thought of straying outside that box. So, what have you found best so far?<br>John

Re:Opinions About Valve Adjustment ??

Anything tighter than stock seems to hold me back a little. But it may be in my mind. I've been playing with some other stuff also so I'm not sure if it helps or hurts.<br>It does quieten it down though.<br>Weather is breaking and got alot of farming to do so I may not get the time to try other settings.<br>But I will try some more, Gotta change a buddies valve springs and may try something different on his this time.<br><br> : Eddie : 8)
