Hi Allan
Don't use tighter settings. Chances are burnt valves.
The workshop manual for Eldorado and police models says:
Normal rocker clearence (cold engine):
- inlet 0.15mm
- outlet 0.25mm
It's the same on my Ambo. I've just adjusted mine, and the PO had them
set far to tight, the bike was running very bad unless it ran with choke
lever activated all the time. Now it's running smoothly as its supposed
to.
Kind regards
Helge H.

What is the valve lash for an eldorado, the Chiltons says .15mm intake and .25mm exaust. Does anyone use a tighter setting? Allan 72 Eldo Columbus, GA |
