What a day
I've been wanting to adjust the valves on the 1512 I recently picked up, well I was forced to today. It ran great Friday, I noticed yesterday it became really sluggish on acceleration and the idle was different. I ran through the obvious, clean water free fuel check new air filter check, cracked injector lines, we have fuel. To my surprise when I pulled the valve cover and see a pushrod standing outside the rocker arm. I checked it for straightneess and it was fine, found the tappet in one corner of the head which made me feel lucky. After a little more examination I noticed two of the three rocker arm hold down nuts extremely loose, tightened those down, ran through the valves and I'm happy to report, all is well and it may even run slightly better. So what a day it has been hahaha
