Dumb question is there a adjustment screw on every rocker that needs to be loosen then adjusted in other words are there 4 that need to to be loosen and adjusted like 1 adjuster per valve
Have you tried checking the float levels and balancing the carb butterfly valves? I had an old LTD400 that would not run and it ended up being the float levels, one was bent so the carb was barly getting any fuel
@@backwoodsjunkie08 I have, many times. theyre in spec and I have also lowered the floats as someone recommended and that did not help. I'm pretty good with carbs but this one has confused me
@@Aciecarter238 Its all good. I realized after the longest time that I had a bad jet. it runs perfect now. it never ran great even when it was new but now it runs better than ever
Be careful. None of the cam lobes were ever in the correct position in this video. The lobes needs to be pointed up and out as can be seen @13:33 ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-h4-VTx_XndE.html ) in the graphic on the sheet of instructions he holds. At no point when he was measuring clearances and making adjustments were the heels of the cams properly above the rocker arms. Please verify the arrangement mechanical assembly before making adjustments so you do not destroy your timing like @ScrapMetalMade has here. Other issues, there was needless disassembly. Valve cover can be removed with less effort. Also, each cylinder has a TDC and is adjusted respectfully. You need to locate TDC on cylinder 1 (the 1T mark), but you also need to locate it for cylinder 2 ( there is a 2T). When you can see the marks in the viewport, you also need to verify the angle of the cam lobes. With patience cycle the engine until the configuration is correct. You may notice issues with the valve clearances by doing this alone. In the adjustment stage, after loosening the locknut, make the adjustment with a small slotted driver through a deep 9mm socket. This way you can easily lockdown the adjustment screw while also holding its position.
