Won't run? Engine, cooling system, fuel pump, carb, clutch, tranny, brakes, etc. The old messages from the NPCA 'Engine & Mechanical' category are here.

There shouldn't be any tapping noise that you can hear inside the cabin. Maybe you'll be able to hear something while next to the open engine bay. If you have the hand crank, valve adjustment can be done in no time.
You bring to operating temperature, and then with the help of the hand crank position either piston 1 or piston 6 on top dead center.
Valve Clearance 0.015" - 0.016" (0.38mm - 0.40mm)
1. Bring Cyl #1 to TDC to adjust the following valves:
1 - 2 - 3 - 6 - 8 - 9
2. Rotate 1 full revolution to bring Cyl #6 to TDC and adjust the remaining valves:
4 - 5 - 7 - 10 - 11 - 12

Plateaucal...I can say all of mine tapped until properly adjusted...there was no pattern to which way to tune.....except my cash flow.....
Though my costs were amazing the only thing moreso is how good they sounded once properly set by Benjamin Franklin.

So...... I seeeeeee your game now, Plateaucal. I have to buy the whole Patrol just to get the swing out jerry can rack? That would be far from the worst deal I have ever made.
