Can anyone tell me what's going on here? Valve leaking? It seems to come from ignition point. Also I can go faster that maybe 45 and shifting into 5th gear gives me no speed. Could this be my clutch?

Also what about the clutch, do you think it could be the reason why it won't go past 45 and doesn't accelerate easily? I haven't done anything to the jet but I have put pod filters on it.
 
Any changes to the stock setup for the carbs will require tuning. Lot of threads on this stuff in the forum. As for the cam seal and plugs not much money for the seal but the plugs are very hard to find. I use a little yamabond-4 around them before pushing back into place. It has worked well for me.
