Talked with builder yesterday. He gave me some extras to change if needed. Explained everything to him and he said it is adjusted to tight and hanging the valve open causing the miss and to pull the plug, it is likely fouled. If I can't get to it today, he will himself or send one of his guys out to correct it.

BTW, thanks to everyone for your input. I will update once it is looked at and hopefully fixed.

Sorry forgot to update the latest. Builder came out to my garage and took a look see. Found the rocker was set correctly but they used a taller poly lock, and he found a witness mark on the Valve Cover. Probably from when the first one broke or the taller lock. Put the correct one on and adjusted to base circle I guess, Pulled the #7 plug and it was fuel fouled. Replaced the plug and it fired right up. So far so good. Not back in the water yet, still finishing up sea pump impellors, trim pump reservoir and clean up all the spilled stuff in the bilge. Should finish up tomorrow and will be ready to re-launch and put back on lift. Oh and add a bunch of fuel.
