Hello everyone,
I ran into a massive problem tonight. I noticed that my valve guide on my Yamaha 621 F was out of alignment. While trying to fix this problem, my valve stem broke off from the part that lies inside the casing. I am not in any hurry to get this fixed, but I just want to know what can be done in order to fix it. Is the valve useless or do I just have to buy a new valve stem and have it installed? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks very much.
Sincerely,
Andy Smith
