Default Re: Cam clean-up?

My 6" bore, 12" stroke goes miss, miss, miss for 30 seconds before it hits like a cannon and coasts for another 30 seconds. I reground the cam (one lobe) with my belt sander. The intake valve has no cam. It is atmospheric. Has a light spring and when the piston is on intake it just sort of chatters and draws in what it needs. It is a simple check valve..
