Drilled out jets are not that uncommon. A set of new jets from a trusted source wouldn't be a bad place to start.

My jets are not drilled out, I measured them. I will say my compression readings are not that great, 70-80#, vacuum is low too at maybe 17-18, but have not checked after sticking valve loosened up. I have good power, no smoke, blowby or oil usage. Thanks, I value your experience.
