i was servicing my fe 400 its a 03 model with 53 hours and 1200 miles and decided to look at the tappets they were very tight. we loosened them off and to get the required clearence and the screws were out as far as they went so we got it all done and back together and tried to start it the compression was unbelivebly high. i weigh nearly 13 stone and i had to leap on the kick start to bearly just move it, with one big kick it came to life and it sounded realy clatery near the tappet area. before we ajusted them the valve train was realy quiet you couldent hear it, and how loud should the engine be?
can some one help me!
