As Frank noted, you’ll have to fix the cam roller as the first step to get the carb/throttle sync correct, then go from there to see what else might be causing a problem. And as Dale and crosbyman noted, the worn roller can be fixed with heat shrink tubing. On a recent project, I had a cam roller that was so badly worn it was useless. While browsing in my local hardware store, I happened to find a hard nylon spacer that was a perfect substitution for the original piece.
