Default Valves on a Predator

Anyone have the specs for a valve adjustment on a Predator? Also, does anyone have a wiring diagram of the ignition. Something really strange is going on with my quad. I put it all back to stock and it still has starting issues when it is cold.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Not sure on the valves. The manual says nothing about adjustment. I too am curious about the adjustment though..

Anyone? If the valves were too tight I would not be able to rotate the buckets is that correct? Also it feels like it has at least good compression my tester is broken so all I can do is stick my thumb over the hole. It feels strong though???????

I pretty much have to pull start it, or sometimes I can put my hand over the carb until it is drenched then open the throttle and it will start,,,,, sometimes?

well i aint been riding much lately.. busy.. there are a few good places to ride.. behind my house is a ton of old logging trails and an old airstrip were some guy use to land his plane... we turned it into a track and we usually tool around there or go to pits and climb some walls and drag race.
