Found hole in crank case, sealed it, adjusted valves .004 ex and .003 intake. Started it up and noticed loosing a lot of compression out from under valve cover. You can just feel it hitting your hand. I was told by
Husqvarna mechanic when inquiring about if they stocked Honda parts that there shouldn't be compression at the valves, as most engines haven't been that way for a while and to just use gasket maker. I did order a gasket anyway, although it was paper thin, compared to the one that was originally there. I used the Black gasket maker as well. So should I or shouldn't I have pressure under the valve cover. I took it off and it's coming out of a tubeish thing. Bike does run, but can't climb a small hill and gets hot and looses power way to fast. Huanshang 49cc....... Oh I did adjust valves cold at top dead center, unsure what stroke. But if the valves are both closed I don't see that as really mattering, But then I don't have a clue what I'm doing. lol. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
