Servicing for first time - few basic questions !
(I'm attacking without a manual , but only planning oil and filter / valve c)
1. Removing two sumpguards - is it normal to have them together ? Parts list shows inner guard solid mounted and rubber between it and outer ! What's "the norm" ?
2. Drain "bung" on air filter housing - is it normal to have ? guess 15-20cc of clean engine oil in here ? Would normally point to a blocked breather or something like that.
3. What are valve clearances meant to be - I assume they are done cold. Again is there a norm for a little tighter or slacker than factory figs ?

thanks in advance
