AJ,
He means verifying/adjusting the clearance. The Chiltons
manual - available for download on Greg Benders site,
details the procedure quite nicely in the tune-up chapter.
Its really quite simple, the key is getting the each
piston at TDC on the compression stroke before you
measure. It'll take you an hour the first time, then
about 15 minutes thereafter. If you seach the wildguzzi
forums, you'll find several threads on how to find TDC as
well.

Ok.
I don't see a torque spec in the service manual. What
should I use?
I am not sure what you mean by adjusting the valves
because they may be tight. Is this the spring load?
Any details you can give are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

How long has it been since you re-torqued your heads and
adjusted your valves. Your symptom sounds a lot like
tight valves. Do that service before you mess with the
carbs.
