Valve adjustment???

Actually they had some models that had adjustable valves. It could be a sticking valve, or noisy lifter, carbs cannot make noise.... Well, if you dropped one.....

Did half of you even listen to the entire video?

The noise is coming from the carburetor, and whenever the engine requires more fuel, it's louder. When I shut down the engine, it sounds like it's "choking" for air or something like that. Otherwise, it's running perfectly fine. It's not idling erratically or anything.
 
Real cold does different things to engines. They sound different and run different, you have to learn how to diagnose with your ears. Sounds travel farther and to different parts of the engine, creating interesting diagnoses. If you live north of I-90 you will know what I mean. Monday they say the wind chill will reach -55 degrees, service calls will get an extra charge, if we have to go out.
 
Did you let it run for 20 mins ?

Let it run and warm up.
It is not good to start a engine then shut it off before it warms up

I second that!:laughing: The wind chill here in Michigan is supposed to be -20 degrees for the next few days. We're expecting at least 8" of snow from now until Tuesday.
