Hi /diy/

So I've been building this lawn mower go kart thing for a while now but the motor on it is being a peice of shit. It's a 6.5 honda GX clone and when i got it it was pretty trashed. Since then i've done fucking E V E R Y T H I N G to it, but it still won't run for more than 3 seconds before dying. My thoughts are the previous owner fucked up the valves, it's pretty hard to turn over, and that's literally the only thing left i haven't fucked with on it.
Any small engine gurus out there with some advice?

here's a tail end view, i took the valve cover off, checking lash with a feeler gauge.

just a list of shit i've replaced on this thing:
new carb, spark plug, ignition coil, exhaust pipe, air filter, fuel line, fuel filter, kill switch, changed oil, new governor/throttle linkages, new pull starter, new side cover gasket. this thing is pimped out and i'm sick of it not running
