You're never supposed to touch the push rod adjustment. This is set at the factory to a length that is determined there, to adjust out the dimensional tolerance buildup between the body and pan once mounted together. The length in the manual is just an average value, and I believe we discovered that it wasn't even right; ISTR that the Bentley value has 2 digits swapped. Maybe that mistake is in all the manuals. > The rebuild on the old MC is an issue. I think I spoke to you once > before about how my local VW mechanic wont rebuild it or sell the > parts. Claims he'll be libel. Are the 19mm kits available? Thanks -- I would be willing to rebuild it for you, but parts are hard enough to find that I don't think I want to sell you the parts. If you know what to do and would prefer to do it yourself, watch ebay for a kit. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
