quick history, i ran vw's 5 or so years ago and always stock everything, i got a parts buggy with a good engine and I'm trying to get it running good for weekend, it's a 1915 engle 110 delorto 40 or 44 single only running on one cylinder at an idle when facing engine it's cylinder on left closest to you ( i know damn new people) seems to have a lot of power when you get into it, by this i mean it's a lot of fun when you open it up, I can't imagine one cylinder doing that I pulled plugs and they are fouled black chalky, but all have spark. any ideas also the rocker shaft says auto craft (no idea if that means much) what clearence should i have on rockers. I pulled one cover off and there is no clearence thanks a lot |

If your running chromoly push rods you can set them at 0 lash but good rule of thumb would be around 3-5 thousand's.As for the Autocraft rockers ,it could just be the shafts or they might have ratio rockers on them too.Id say adjust your valves and change the plugs and clean the idle jet in your carb. |

You do know when you check valve adjustment (rocker clearance) your engine needs to be stone cold... and whatever cylinder you are checking needs to be on compression stroke, right? |
