So it sat for almost a year, then i replaced the magneto and got it running again but the valves were making more noise than the motor itself. So i got some feeler gauges and adjusted them, theyre quite now but scooter bogs a lot and before the exhaust had been really loose like .3" instead of .005", i think the intake was around .007" before i messed with it today. Could this be a carb problem instad of valves?
