yes to linkage adjustment, primarily had to take the slack out of the rod that travels down to the ip, the little cam/ stopper wasn't even making contact with the stop with linkage at full spread. Did air filter also, I'll check the mph at each shift tonight, I think its close to what it should be.
Last time I did the valves, I got inconsistent results checking the tc stretch. from 0 deg. to 5 deg. I did not use a dial gauge on the valve spring method which is poss. more accurate. I just rotated the engine till number 1 was at TDC and read the scale on the pulley. Did this 5 times, (and it was really fun bloodyin' up my knuckles on the back of the radiator) and got 5 different answers. I'll do a search on IRV lights as I'm not familiar. Thanks guys.
