A soft ticking is ok, a loud ticking should be adjusted in my humble opinion. Just turn the crank till the rocker is completely off the cam lobe, adjust to a tight .004in (take your time and make sure it's right) then do the other one the same way. The air box is the plastic housing around your air filter. Is your air filter cleanish? (some dust ok, oil bad) How old is your gas? Fuel filters clean? Petcock working? If it runs for a bit then stalls, it seems your carb bowl is running dry. Then when it sits for a while, enough fuel seeps in to let it start and run again, then stall. Is that your problem?
