Hi. Thanks. Yes, here in South Africa the parts are very scarce. Have to be imported and are very expensive but we make a plan 😁👍.

I’ve got one of these I can’t get the exhaust valve lash to properly set. Replaced cam/tappet but still doing it. Got pushrods ordered for the next troubleshooting.

Hi. Check the exhaust valve spring for the correct length and tension. When the engine runs hot and overheats it can collapse and that could be your problem. Also, check the valve stem for mushrooming. The valve should push out through the guide without getting stuck.

@@rcaeroenginerepair Forgot to mention I did replaced both valve springs with brand new. Both valves were removed and cleaned because carbon build up was bad. Valve guides felt good with each valve smoothly pushing in/out. One thing I noticed was intake and exhaust valve in this engine are exact size and are identical. Is this normal for the 180? The smaller engines I've done have had larger intake valves. Thanks for your help!

Yes. The valves are the same size, and the 120,150 and 180 engines use the same size valves. Have a look at the rocker itself. There is a spacer washer that has to sit on one of the sides of it. Make sure it is on the right side. Sometimes it makes a difference if it is placed on the inside or the outside of the rocker especially if there is damage on the sides of the housing.

I'm starting mine, and it dies after the glow wand is removed. I'm looking for the # of turns to set the needles from closed. Would it not run without the glow during a breakin?

If the engine is run for the first time and it is not tuned yet it could and should run Ritch. Running very Ritch will cause it to die if the glow power is removed. Once leaned out to the correct setting it should be fine otherwise the glow plug itself has a problem.
