I have had a number of outboard engines some dinghy sized and some 15/20/25 hp main outboard engines and I have never adjusted tappet clearances on any engine although some being 2 stroke that might be quite hard.
My current main engine is a 25hp and there is no discernable tappet noise but has done only perhaps 1500NM. Are other meticulous about this bit of maintenance or am I just being lazy as I would prefer to spend a day sailing?
