Stuck in take valve?

Timing problem?

not put it back together yet - tomorrow night. still getting over my nosebleed at finding the problem!!

i did run it a bit though and the popping, etc continues. i did think that the popping was related to unburnt fuel because of an extremely over-rich mixture.

i won't turn the engine again until it's built back up - then i'll be very cautious...
