I alreaty know that it does it all the time but would it run bet without the clicking valves? just wondering? is it hard to readjust it your self?

 

Yes, if your valves are rattling they need adjustment. All you really need is a feeler guage and a factory service manual and its not that dfficult to do yourself.

 

If the valves are properly adjusted they will be quiet ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I hope you are speaking as a previous warrior or wolverine owner. I have owned both and my buddies have them as well. All of them have rattling valvetrain. I used to work in a bike shop and let me tell you, even when adjusted properly, the valves in this particular design still rattle.

Adjustment will quiet them some, but they will always be noticeable.

As for adjustment, if an older wolverine, remove the cover off the left side crankcase (newer one, remove the pull starter). Under this cover is a 17mm (if I remember correctly) bolt head threaded into the crank. You can use a socket and ratchet to turn the engine over slowly instead of doing as the previous post mentioned.
