I learned the importance of accurate valve clearances on this engine shortly after I bought my 250. Starting was finicky and idle speed was very unstable until it warmed up fully. After setting them, it was like a different engine, easy to start and settling to a stable idle in less than 30 seconds. You can chase carb problems forever if the valves aren't quite closing all the way.
