Default little help

hi all, does anyone know the valve clearance on a 50cc kazuma meerkat? i dont know if ive explaned it properly, but you take off the 2 covers on the top of the head, and need a 9mm spanner and plain screwdriver, and a feeler guage, i think its 0.04 but just want to double check, thanks

I don't have a solution to your problem, but i can tell you from experience that you are way better off with a yamaha or suzuki. The quad you have will face you with many problems the longer you keep it. i understand that you most likely got that for your kid or a little one in the family because it is cheap, but you can't get parts for those if they break. hope this helps

kiljoy250, if he had asked if he should stick with his Chinese atv or go with a big 4 your post would have been just fine. But please don't come here post crapping when people are simply asking basic fixit questions!
