Also, I mixed up the lifters as they fell out before I could figure
out which one went with which lifter. They have no itendifiable
marking on them.

If you got those in the wrong hole, the valves are NOT adjusted.

I appreciate your help. This is my first rebuild and I want it to be
a sucess but I am tempted to go down to the harbor freight store and
buy that 6 horse engine for 160 bucks!


Check your engine shaft diameter. I think it is 7/8" . That 6.5 hp at
harbor Freight has a 3/4.


Does anyone make adapters for small incremental shifts in shaft size
such as this?
