valve clearances

[edgeblade]

Couldnt find the post...I know its somewhere though....but anywho...I have a 212cc predator that is hard to pull start. I'm going to look to see if the valve spacing is spot on when I get home today. Question is does anybody remember what the valve clearances should be?...I thought I've read it should be .03-.05 but I'm not positive
Thx in advance for any help on this

predator manual
http://manuals.harborfreight.com/manuals/69000-69999/69730.pdf

says (on page 2)
Valve Clearance
Intake
0.10 - 0.15 mm
Exhaust
0.15 - 0.20 mm

that'd be
0.1 mm = 0.00393700787 inches
0.15 mm = 0.00590551181 inches
0.2 mm = 0.00787401575 inches

So I'd go with Intake 0.004-0.006 and exhaust 0.006-0.008 to have a nicer set of numbers
