The valve came right tight to the rocker , even after I backed the screw out all the way , it was 100% on TDC on compression stroke, and the push rods should be even when on TDC, the push road behind the exhaust valve was higher than the one behind the intake valve -

Found the issue !!!!! out of time , when I put the engine to top dead centre , the exhaust valve was a little open and the push road weren’t even , they should be even from my understanding -

And is the T, F and two lines what your referring to as the index lines ? Hard instructions to wrap my head around lol -

Battery was at full charge and throttle was wide open , when I have the plug out , and roll the engine by the pull start, I look in the hole and get it to the T, there is also an F there and two other lines that are close together. when I put it to the T the piston is all the way to the top, but my exhaust valve doesn’t seem like it always wants to move. I set my intake valve to .006, I followed what shadtree sent about finding the compression stroke , and to my understanding I was at compression stroke. maybe the engine is not in time ? But I’m almost certain I was checking that right -

I agree ! But so far I haven’t been able to get bike running , lots of great tips and advice , but the thing has air, fuel, spark , I’ve changed everything. Set the valves and the motors in time . I don’t understand why it won’t start. -

Just wanted to say thanks for all the helps guys , it’s going to a shop, compression is to low , has to be something more internal. thanks again -

Any suggestions for cleaning valves without removing the cylinder head ? and there’s nothing in the exhaust system :(, I wish it was that easy lol -

Okay, so reset the valves And engine was on compression strike TDC, I have tried 3 different spark plugs ? Could voltage regulator be the issue maybe ?? just a thought will roll over all day long just won’t start!! -

I think I was on compression stroke, I just put cover back on , both valves set to .006, putting back together and gunna try to start it up, exhaust valve was tight , couldn’t fit anything in there -

Yes I held throttle wide open and has new spark plug , ask just checked timing , it’s showing the T mark in the centre of the hole and the piston is at top, so it’s in time , gunna check the valves now -

Hahahahahaha , made my day lol. but I can’t see why it would be compression or timing if it was running fine prior to changing the carb 😞
