Valveto Guide Clearance Measurement Wobble Method
If a small bore gauge is not available, inspect the valve guide wear by measuring the valve to valve guide clearance with the wobble method as indicated below. Insert a new valve A into the guide B and set a dial gauge against the stem perpendicular to it as close as possible to the cylinder head mating surface. Move the stem back and forth C to measure valve valve guide clearance. Repeat the measurement in a direction at a right angle to the first. If the reading exceeds the service limit,...
Charging Condition Inspection
Battery charging condition can be checked by measuring battery terminal voltage. Remove the seats (see Frame chapter). Disconnect the battery (-) cables. Be sure to disconnect the negative (-) cable first. Measure the battery terminal voltage. OMeasure with a digital voltmeter A which can be read to one decimal place voltage. If the reading is below the specified, refreshing charge is required. Battery Terminal Voltage Standard 12.6V or more
