Default pushrod adjustment

i'll stop bugging you all shortly, but, I have a question.

I followed mfg's instructions to a tee when I adjusted the rods, but, I'm wondering if i spin the tire, if that will tell me all is OK? Or, does the engine have to be started.......

Okey Dokey!

BTW, the clutch wasnt working the other day and somebody mentioned the oil might be too cold. Must have been it! I heated up the garage tonight and she's working fine now!

Thanks to whomever gave that suggestion.

You might want to try ATF.
You don't need a thick oil in the primary.
