I have my faithful honda out of the water for the first time in 5 years and can't find my manual!!! Darn!! Can someone please help me out and tell me what the valve clearance is? It's a 2000 model 25 hp, I've been changing the oil in the water with a catch jug, just changed the foot gear oil, now I'd love to do the valve adjustment while it is right in my face. Thanks in advance, I really appreciate the help. Woody in warming up Georgia!!! Will be fishing this weekend, just to make yall jealous.....

Thanks very much! I ordered a DVD or CD with all the manuals from 72-2005, but haven't gotten it yet. Thanks again, That will be my afternoon project. Woody

Asking again, the CD I got has tons of info, but the one thing I need isn't there. You know how that is.... On this 25hp, the belt is tensioned by a spring when you loosen the idler holding bolt and release it, with the motor in the exact right position to put the slack on the idler side. I have the procedure and step by step, but can't find the torque anywhere. All the times I've answered for others on things I know, now it's me that's lost..... I really appreciate it if any of you know or have this info. Thanks very much in advance, Woody
