is there any pit bike shops close to you, ring and ask a price to set the valve clearances, it only takes about 20mins at the most to do.
give these guys a call and ask how much to adjust your valves

It sounds like you weren't at tdc then ?
turn the engine over another full revolution and check the timing marks.

Hi Emilio fortunately Chinese minis can be bought cheap. Unfortunately a motorcycle mechanic will charge themselves out from $ 60-120 per hour. plus parts. lt is worth familiarising your current bike and future bikes how they operate and the service requirements that need to be carried out. We a spoilt with reading material on this forum and the net ,with plenty of info and step by step tips on how to look after our bikes. This will be the only way to keep an expensive hobby on the cheaper side. The Chinese mini is relatively simple to work on and can be cheap. Just keep away from bling.
