Am I correct that you have a F model bike with a J engine? Unless you're already familiar, I highly recommend that you read the information you'll find via the J model valve adjustment link in my last post.
If you're not familiar, you'll also need a micrometer and a source for shims just in case you need to replace any.
I've never been a fan of shim-under-bucket designs, or over bucket for that matter but I understand the concept and why manufacturers utilize them. I also can relate to one's reluctance to endeavor that task, but if one wants a top running machine, as well as the satisfaction of knowing that machine, procedure must be followed.Although I'm an F model owner, I read the valve adj write-up in that link. Wow. I thought mine was difficult. Good luck with yours, I'm interested to see your bike run with all the mods.
