If the machinę shows a falling off in power and speed. as indicalcd by the speedometer, and there is no undue "pl»y" between valves and tappets, test the com-prosioo of the engine by standing on starter pedał with compression on, or pulling the rear wheel over slowly with the gears and clutch engaged. If the engine turns over ca siły against compression, there is a leak, eitlicr through the valves or piston rings. It is usually the fonner, and is rcmedied by regrinding with fine emery powder and oil mixed to a pastę or with valve grinding compound, on sale by all dcalers.
The eshaust valve rcquires grinding oftener than the inlakc valve, bceause it is morę exposed to the blast of the burnt gaw-t which cause pitting and warping.
Toremove any valve, first remove the hexagon cap io the cylinder head which covers the valve. A special wreneb is provided which fits all cylinder head eaps.
