valve problem

[tim]

whats up guys? I was out riding my 87 warrior the other night and started hearing ticking real bad( insane bad!!):argh: so I parked it. I woke up to day planing on tearing the hole quad apart to get it ready for powder coating. I decided to look at the valves and the intake valve tappet screw was really loose and the nut was GOON!!!! so a lil looking around i found the nut it was laying next to the valve spring( THANK GOD) I put everything back together and she runs better than ever. im so happy it was not anything major. just thought i would fill you guys in. :atv::slayer:
