The intake valve has probably tightened up, and doesnt close completely. This leads to a big frop in compression, and a difficult to start motor when cold.

Since it starts when engine is warmed up but not when cold, I would also check choke/carburetion area.

When you adjust the valves, go by the clearance, which is checked with a shim. Then youll know what the proper shim will be.
