    Hello, I was wondering if anyone on here had or knew where a copy of the valve shim spec sheet? I have seen them used at the CNY Carb Clinic. I am currently working on my 82 maxim and I am at the point where I should do a shim adjustment. Yet I can't find the conversion sheet anywhere here on the site or on others. Any help would be great.


    Thanks,

    If you want to do the math it's easy. Clearance specs are on the inside of the left side cover. Shims come in 0.05 mm increments. Thinner shims increase the clearance.

    I did not know that, I'll have to take a look there tomorrow. Thank you for this info. I'm hoping to get this all done by the end of this week.
