redtom, You already know what the problem is, it does have a sticking valve. I have seen it dozens of times on lift trucks with overhead cam engines. I've been wrenching on lift trucks for 32 years now. The valve springs on OHC engines are not strong enough to close the valves when the valve stems are gummed up.
