  1. You need to check the valves are flat on their ends where the adjuster presses. If it's worn dished you have to allow for that. If it is flat then the proper(accurate) way to use feeler gauges is to use two at a time, one a thou bigger than you want, and one a thou smaller than you want, then adjust it so one gauge slides through without any hindrance and the other just drags.

  3. If this is a belt drive, does that mean the clutch isn't in the engine oil ? If they're prone to wearing the cam, I think I'd put some supper slippery in the oil. Cams have always been prone to oil shortages, because they are a long way from the pump at startup, because of air bubbles in the oil, because it's the first place to run short of oil when there isn't enough in the engine. The additive I'd add would have moly-whatever it is, in it.

  4. From the info I got, the belt has never been changed. I think I'll go ahead and put a new belt on since it's been smelling pretty bad and seems to be kind of Jerky made that word up lol! Also, I'll take a go at checking/ adjusting the valves and adjusting pilot air screw on carb. I hope the cam lobes are OK, I don't really want to dig into the motor that deep already. Thanks folks! 🙂

  6. I thought those parts were suspiciously cheap.. I think I agree with Gw about the wear having to be pretty bad to cause a flat spot , If the cam is wearing though you will get more valve clearance not less. I'd be pretty sure the running would come right with a bit of a carb tune..
