alright when i go home this weekend it sounds like i need to start with checking for B+ at the coil, if not ill repair that, replace the o rings hopefully the intake tubes are ok, ill do that and see how things run, i might put a new set of plugs in it just to be sure their ok. and if it still is starting hard than ill do the task of the valve adjustment. i know i need to do it i dont want to burn a valve that would suck. anything else i should be checking for? the only thing i have really done is changed the oil and filter and re gapped the plugs.

Not to beat a dead horse, but......adjusting the valves isn't optional. They must be attended to every 6-8 thousand miles as part of your regular maintenance. If you don't know when they were last done, then they need it. These bikes absolutely love having their valves adjusted. It really brings them back to life and not cold-blooded anymore.
