I am going to go do my valves now that you've helped me understand how simple it really is. I have a feeling that ticking sound I hear is the valves too loose?
your videos were a fantastic help to me when i was restoring the bike.its like showroom i know youd like it.just had to tell you that.please respond to my question it would be much appreciated thanks
Alex i have a 1979 honda c70 i changed the head and cylinder because it was siezed.it was running perfect with the other head but from i changed it its chokeing up and im not getting full power.i took it apart and resealed it incase it was getting air from some of the seals but its still the same and the timeing is fine.the carb was good so it couldnt be it.have you any ideas what mite be causing this?
@penna171980 Yes but the Z50's are all 4 strokes. And no there are no push rods, the Z50 uses an overhead cam. The Honda QA50 used a pushrod motor and very early Honda Cubs used a similar motor.
@TheAlexManVideos my bike runs then shuts of a little bit later really it cant idle by its self... i was thinking i might have to do this wat do u think?
@Nick75987 it may have tight valves, which means there is not enough clearance between the top of the valve an the adjusting screw which will not allow the valves to close fully
hey i was just wondering, i tried to do this today and when was finished i had friction on my feeler guage but how much play does it have when you've done it right, because it kinda seemed like mine had a lot
i have a 1978 honda 50 moped i was wondering how do turn on the petrol flow i know its on the same swith as the 1 for the reserve tank so help please i will be getting a handbook for it soon so any ideas??
i have an xr70 also but mines been runnin like shit i know that when i took the engine apart i noticed alot of filthy bad oil is it possible this is causing it to bog out? what are your suggestions?
i have a Honda atc70 and it has a very hard time starting. I got it to start once but it took sooooo long. do u know how to make it start easier. thanks i appreciate the help
Great video saved me lots of time/money. Just had a question for you...my 50 has an 88cc kit and it wont start cold unless I push start it down a big hill. A guy at a local shop told me I needed to loosen my valves but another said it was because of my jetting. Any thoughts? Thanks
hey alex, i need a little bit of help. i have an 00 xr 70 and it runs like crap, it spits and sputters, and when you really roll the throttle it back fires and puffs out a small amount of brownish smoke. and at an idle it will idle all over the place and sometimes will even stall itself out, ive cleaned the card perfectly, and adjusting the jet and idle screw will not do anything, im hoping adjusting the valves will fix it but please let me know what you think of it.
Nice video, where did you find that feeler gauge I have been looking every where for one like that I need a 0.05 mm (0.002 in) for my 65 ct200 trail 90
i have a lot of smoke coming from my exhaust pipe on my crf50 with 88 kit i dont think that the engine is damaged but if its not is there a way to fix it?
Thanks fora helping man but i have a honda c50 and have put a whole different engine on it..I have a CDI cylinderhead..do i have 2 do exactly the same things?
ha dood. my honda 50z is locked solid. the kick start feels like it slips and trying to push start it it sort of slipps in a kind of way. i diddnt seez it riding it but its just looked up over night. it is old and was getting hard to start but im not sure why its stuck. (no horrible crunch noise or anything like that) got any suggestions how to free it up. could it be a stuck valve or something.
i just put the 88cc big bore kit with the different head and valves... well anyways i just got it together and i think i have the valves wrong. i can hear the exhaust out of my air filters. what should i do
I have a honda 250ex and It will start and run good but if you shut it of and leave it over night it wont start for a day or two Could that just be because the timing is of.
Hey how do you find TDC with a inner rotor in the crf70 just put in a new TB88kit with race head and a Inner rotor kit but the valves are ticking WAY bad and i was gonna set them but i can't figure out TDC with this inner rotor from AHP
hey whats up i was woundering if u know where to get the thing inside the fly wheel the magnetic thing because i have a pit bike 110 an i need a knew one plz message me back idk where they are sold so plz send me a message or give me a call on(650)-7120317
hahah i just put the 40 bucks out for the pro motion tool kit to do valve tappets i figure i do 2 peoples valves at 25 bucks and i got my money back hah
could an out of adjustment valve cause a machine to run very rich? i have an atc 200es 3 wheeler that i rebuilt the top end on it has a brand new carb and still has black smoke and fouls plugs within 2 mintues
Maybe it would be good to stress first to check the clearance before adjusting them. When they are adjusted the right way, they don't need readjusting often.
Nope. There will always be a little bit of oil in the bottom tappet cover but the oil level of the motor is way below that cover and you won't have any issues.
It adjusts the clearance between the rockers and the valves. Too loose and they rattle a lot, too tight and the valves hang open and you'll lose power.
Nice video.Careful with adjusting the valves too tight, specially the exhaust. THat will burn the valve as it does not sit on the valve seat for long enough to dissipate the heat.
All done. Damn I love these Honda engines. Great to work on. I think I set them too loose to begin with. A little clacking which I assume was tappet noise occured after first attempt. 2nd attempt I set them a little tighter and now it's all good. I'm keeping a keen eye on them. Thanks for the video, was good to see it done, cemented what I thought and gave me extra confidence.
why does my pit bike back fire all teh time, it exsplodes so badley in the exhaust it snaped my exhaust 2 times but i have fixed it now but it back fire ass hel, how to i get rid of it
hi i have a z50r and every couple of days i have to replace the spark plug because it gets oil fouled. also it blows a bit of smoke. wat should i do to fix it. will replacing the rings and gaskets do anything. also maybe the valve guides?
Plug is fouling because oil is somehow getting in the cylinder. That also explains the smoke. Check your compression. Then add a few drops of oil in the spark plug hole and check the compression again. If it goes up, your rings need to be replaced. If it's the same, replace the valve seals. It is more likely to be the rings. If the cylinder measures within spec, just hone it and get a new set of rings and possibly a piston. Let me know before you order parts, I have some new stuff I never used.
More power, or gearing. Taller gearing will give more top speed, lower gearing will give better acceleration. Gearing gives you one or the other. Power combined with proper gearing gives you both.
Dude, I have no idea but I doubt it. If it's anything a CRF450R motor it uses shims and buckets. I would suggest you get the manual or take the bike to a shop.
Hey I put the wrong size bolt on the bottom left of the ignition cover on my crf50 and it has punched through into the crank caseand now with the bolt it leaks oil, I've spoke to fast50s and they said it shouldn't be a problem. What do you think???
I think that's impossible. The threads would fail long before you poked a hole through the case. I may be wrong but I think your problem is elsewhere. Can you confirm that oil is indeed pouring out of that exact hole?
I suppose if that's the case then there is indeed a hole into the crankcase. I would get a stud (just a long threaded stick) and thread it in there with some epoxy on the threads to seal it up. Then use a nut on the stud to secure the left cover. Try to clean up the threads in the case as much as you can because the cleaner it is the better the epoxy will stick.
where canu get the measuring thin i have a 80 does it make a difference. by the way why dont u get a service shop or somithng u are well good in moterbikes mate
The specs for an 80 might be different. I have no idea. Check with your service manual. I would like to work as a mechanic, but I'm only 16, so it's just a hobby now, not a profession.
Okay man i want to thanks you for this i have been looking for a tutorial for ever. I do have another question for you I have a 88 kit and getting a oil leak and this has cause the motor to have a nasty knock any ideas? please llet me know what you might think
I'm going to guess that the oil leak and knock are separate issues. The oil leak is just a bad seal or gasket somewhere. Clean the motor up real nice and go ride it. Then find where the oil is coming from. The knock could be pre-ignition, you ignition timing too far advanced, low octane fuel, or a number of other things. Check those things first.
They are color coded so I know what size they are from across the room. Black tape are wrenches ending in 0 or 5. 5mm, 10mm, 15mm etc. No tape means sizes ending in 1 and 6. White tape is 2 and 7. Red is 3 and 8. Blue is 4 and 9. Then it starts over again. Makes it easy to find tools.

Okay man i want to thanks you for this i have been looking for a tutorial for ever. I do have another question for you I have a 88 kit and getting a oil leak and this has cause the motor to have a nasty knock any ideas? please llet me know what you might think

I'm going to guess that the oil leak and knock are separate issues. The oil leak is just a bad seal or gasket somewhere. Clean the motor up real nice and go ride it. Then find where the oil is coming from. The knock could be pre-ignition, you ignition timing too far advanced, low octane fuel, or a number of other things. Check those things first.

great video, why do you have tape on the wrenches?

They are color coded so I know what size they are from across the room. Black tape are wrenches ending in 0 or 5. 5mm, 10mm, 15mm etc. No tape means sizes ending in 1 and 6. White tape is 2 and 7. Red is 3 and 8. Blue is 4 and 9. Then it starts over again. Makes it easy to find tools.
