    Hi,
    Never heard of sticky valves in in of these engines. Not to say it cannot exist, and if it does it is likely from stale fuel.
    That said I would get a good penetrant, remove the rocker arm cover and spray it on the valve stems while alternately rotating the flywheel clockwise do different valve opening points.
    Peace,

    I agree with Crigby , the ones I see sticking in valve guides is usually cause from engine running hot. Two things cause this , head fins clogged not allowing ,air flow to cool . Or running high octane fuel in a air cooled engine.
