Title: GOLD STAR DECOMPRESSION LEVER
Post by: Goldie on January 25, 2009, 06:24:52 PM

I have recently done some work on the cylinder head of my DBD 34 Goldie, but for some reason i cannot set up the valve compressor lever correctly, having taken it off the spindle.

Is there a correct procedure in this task, regarding piston position and what position should the lever spindle be in before attatching the lever?

At a guess, i would make sure the exhaust valve is closed,rotate the spindle until it touches the rocker shaft then fit the cable arm in the appropriate position. check that the lifter adjuster has clearance when the cable is fitted and that it lifts the valve when the leaver is used.
