Having trouble finding these and can't seem to download manual online. Left side is about 0.18mm, right side is quite a bit tighter. I think I recall 0.15mm being on the tight side and preferable to operate the decompression system, right? How about the intake side? Left side intake is super tight. Only 3 hours on bike. Hot start issues prompting valve clearance check. Dealer replaced (finally) worm drive per Husky tech bulletin. Still not reliable hot starting. Hope this does it. Earthx battery next on my list. Thanks

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

Finally able to answer my own question for the sake of folks who someday stumble onto this thread looking for the answer: Service manual calls for 0.20 mm clearance for exhaust and 0.15 mm clearance for intake. My intakes are too tight and one exhaust is too tight. The exhaust valve operating the decomp is just about right but I may tighten it up a hair to see what impact that has on hot starting.

Did you have to use a tapered feeler gauge to check the valve clearance?
My opinion and what I did is just removed the starter. It's not ever going to work well. Between the worm drive and the valve clearances etc. your just chasing it around. You'd be better off investing in a rekluse so the bike won't stall. Pull the starter and all the cables running to the starter and save yourself about 4 or 5 lbs of weight!! My bike starts in three kicks cold and on the first or second kick hot and I only wished I had the starter once since I removed it and it probably won't have worked if it was there
FYI do not remove the battery I thought since the TC250 could run without the battery that this bike should to.....wrong!! I found out the hard way there's a cable running from the battery to the fuel injection system that apparently is necessary for the bike to run!!
Just my 2 cents

PS please let me know if you had to use tapered feeler gauges to check the clearances

Huskywood,
When I did mine I didn't use any special types of feeler.
One of my sets is long and thin, so I may have used those.
It's a while ago, but I do recall that it is very fiddly to get the feeler into the slot in the head and then between the cam and bucket.
And for those of us who still like proper old fashioned English measurements, Inlet 6 thou, Exhaust 8 thou
