Possibly your rollers. I've had 2 of those VIP's & the rollers had Flat spots.

Alright, new carb, fuel lines, fuel filter, petcock, NGK plug, coil, and she runs, still hard to start but don't think the valves have ever been adjusted, doing that tomorrow along with a oil change and new gear oil. Decided to paint it, it was blue silver
I would upload pics, but Tapatalk doesn't like me right now
