Hi:
Just took the head off of my GX200 clone. The valve seats look pretty good, but the valves themselves are black, top and bottom. It appears the motor was run with an extremely rich carb. This a refurbish project. Also, one valve comes out easily but the other valve is captured by the slot it rides in(not sure of proper term). Learning as I go. Thanks for any help. Hope I provided enough info. Sorry, my question was should the carbon build up be that great. Without a picture, they look like the inside of a tailpipe on a car.
