I just had to move the existing weight about 20 degrees from original location. Then wheel spun balanced. Doesn't take much to be off, does it?

Thanks, makes sense about the aluminum cylinder head wear where valves seat! I guess I thought wear would occur between valve stem and rocker tip, or cam and rocker.

I pulled the cylinder head. One piston has heavier carbon deposits then the other. Is this indicative that the carbs needs cleaning as well?
