Post Lifter, valve or cam
Ok here we go, Mud Buddy black death 4500 and the exhaust valve on the port cylinder isn't opening all the way. I have adjusted the rocker arm and the valve lash is set correctly, the push rod is straight and it's seated correctly. The valve only fraction of movent compared to the exhaust valve on the other cylinder. So my question is what should I check next? And how the heck should I check it. My plan was to pull the head on that cylinder and looking at the exhaust valve, anything I should really look at or look for? Thanks for the help in advance, really hoping its not a cam lobe

Cam shaft.

If everything is set properly and your valve isn't opening, your cam shaft has rounded a lobe and needs replacing.

If its the cam, I have a stock cam that you can have. It has 50 hours on it before I swapped it out.

Get that thing fixed for the Muskegon mud run in a month....

Is your spring broke on that valve? If not then take heed to Craigs comment ;)

Take off your fuel pump and look through the hole/. Maybe you can see what condition your cam is in. I have a stock cam you can have too.
