Gotta love old UJM's, simple and fun to work on.

Had a nice selection of shims on hand

Also replaced the plugs, fuel filter, synch'ed the carbs.
Oh, 5 valves needed adjustment (all intake), and only one carb needed a minor bump.
The plan is to order up a new valve cover gasket, retaining bolt seals and a set of really awesome feeler gauges from Mikes XS then do them all to as perfect as I can get them.

Now they are "shop tuned" all within spec.
Time to ride
