On a 425 with the Kawasaki 20 HP FD620 (I think, label is faded and scratched) engine what is the correct valve clearance spec? I have found three different specs. One said both at .004, one said both at .010 and one said intake .005-.007 exhaust .008-.010.

I believe the last one of .005-.007 and .008-.010 is correct but would like to make sure.

TIA

I have the Kawasaki 18HP liquid cooled in my Kubota TG1860G.
The service manual says both intake & exhaust at .0098 cold.

Not trying to revive a dead thread but wanted to add this info and confirm Gittyup's post... I was looking for the same information for my 1997 Cushman Truckster which has the same engine.

Valve Adjustment From Manual

Valve Clearance When Cold
Intake and Exhaust 0.25 mm (0.01 in)
