The valvesx4 were seated and checked for leaks when i had them on the bench.
I could not overcome the spring tension acting on the valves by hand, i.e. not weak spring problem, say.
I think i am missing something really obvious here, but i am unable to see the wood for the trees at the moment if you see what i mean.
I used compression stroke @ tdc to set the clearances - am i correct in saying as you wind the bike over with the piston rising and all 4 x valves held shut and not being acted on by the cams/rockers - that this is the compression stroke?
Remember - i purchased this bike as a non-runner, i have never had the motor running yet, thought i better remind you all, this might help in getting to the bottom of my diagnosis.
