Valve Clearance Adjustment on Northern Lights Generator

Checking and adjusting valve clearances is an important maintenance item, easily performed by anyone with enough mechanical aptitude to change their own oil. This video demonstrates checking and adjusting the valve clearances (gap between valve stems and rocker arm) on a Northern Lights genset with a 773 engine, but is applicable to other engines as well. Make sure you reference the service/owner's manual for the proper gap and double-check millimeters vs inches (like I didn't!)

Super helpful video. Did my own valve clearance adjustment today-no way I would’ve felt confident doing that without watching your video.

Nice video. I have the same generator, older version, and doing that later today. Very helpful video. FYI my manual says valve adjust every 600hrs

I’m glad it helped! Let me know how it goes for you! 👍🏻

@@SailingDracarys worked well. No issues at all.

Missing 10mm tool, wrench or socket is universally commonplace. So much so, it approaches a wide-spread or even pandemic level of occurrence. Is it possible a 10mm tool black 🕳 hole exists 🤔 😳 👀
