Adjust the valves per the manual here..then youll have that eliminated. Use the 78 manual I would think.

Probably the tapping valve is the only one within spec. It just sounds funny because it's the only one still working right.

So when it gets hot there's no clearance on that one either. Adjust the valves before you burn them up.

It's better to hear your valves than smell them.

And pushing the bike home with burnt valves sucks. Well, at least I would think it sucks. Don't really know, never done it, I always adjust my valves before they burn up.
