[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] Any information or tips on how to adjust the valves ? Thanks.

 

check with cookie monster to see if it the same procedure as the 300 praire, if it is i have a manual and will send the directions back to you.

 

BigBuck, you may want to think about a Clymer's manual or Kawasaki shop manual. They really are well worth the money. They will save you a fortune and a lot of time. Just thowing .02 at ya, no help on the valves with that machine though [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img].

Rob, Cookie say's they are the same. Any help you can give me would be very much appreciated. I am trying to order a shop manual online but can't find a site that deals in Canada (Anyone know). I would go back to my dealer but I have lost faith in them.

 

this is gonna take awhile, i type with 1 finger. keep in mind this is for the 300 praire. remove fuel tank. after that take valve adjusting caps off. next remove the recoil starter, then remove the timing inspection plug [that is on the left side.] turn the crank counterclockwise with a wrench on the alternator rotor bolt, and watch the intake valve. when the intake valve opens and closes, keep turning the crankshaft counterclockwise until the &quot;t&quot; mark on alternator rotor aligns with the as shown.[the slot is located in the timing inspect. plug hole] measure the clearance of each valve between the end of the valve stem and the adjusting screw on th rocker arm with a thickness gauge. loosen the locknut and turn the adjusting screw until clearance is correct. hold the adjusting screw from turning and tighten the locknut to the specified tork. torque- valve locknuts 104 in lb be sure the adjusting cap o-ring are in place. the caps are marked &quot;up&quot; on the top end. i hope cookie is rite about this being same procedure as the 400. by the way do you hunt or fish, i went to ungava bay fish for char and also on a carabou hunt, had a great time, anyway good luck and i hope this helps you out. rob
