valve adjust

I took the head off of a 5hp Honda to free up a stuck valve. Valve adjustment is .0015 to .0020. This seems pretty loose to me. Is this correct. Thanks
I think I used wrong feeler gauge. I used .015 instead of .0015. Must be getting old or blind.

And double check the specs as Honda generally use mm for valve lash not inches.

Thanks bertsmobile1: I will do that. Hope all is well in Australia.

I think I got the right valve spects now, intake .006 +/- .001, exhaust .008 +/- .001. Thanks bertsmobile1
My 5.5 HP is 0.15 mm and 0.20 mm respectively.
Thanks Ripleyx19. I replied to your earlier but it didn't send. I set the valves .006 intake and .008 exhaust. Almost the same as the mm setting and with .001 leeway its the same.
