I have a 21 HP v-twin vanguard it has a fluttering sound kind of like it is missing. It has 130 lbs. compression one cyl. sounds like it is missing at an idle when pulling spark plug wire off but at top rpm its not to noticeable but still has some rumbling sounds. You can take the dipstick out and it blows some oil out. what sounds like the problem. Thank you

Flat heads don’t typically have adjustable valves. Usually the clearance is determined by the fixed length of the valve stem.
