If not already done, would adjust clutch push-rod and cam chain tension.

Well as far as the lagging starter goes...have you had it apart to inspect it?
It could be that the brushes are worn,and/or maybe it just needs a good cleaning.It's probably got a lot of carbon dust inside.
But I would if I were you,just so you know...pull it out and pull it apart and clean it up real good.
Also,check your connections,and the battery cables,where they too,connect,and make sure they have a nice clean connection.Take some fine sandpaper to the ends.
All connections HAVE to be clean...NO CORROSION!

I have all ready adjusted clutch pushrod its allmost all they way in not much room for anything. I have ot taken the starter out but thats my next task. Ordered new clutch. I adjusted the cam chain tensioner. The noise is like a revolving noise but its a vibrating kind of sound and when i turn the throttle it speeds up a little but does not get any louder.and it seem loudest on the inside part of the motor by the starter area. I will video it and post it on you tube today. Put the link on later.
