Adjusted the valves on my Buddy 125 and it went well. When reinstalling the valve cover, there was a rubber piece on top of the cylinder that would fall into the space between the valve cover and head.
-I reinstalled that troublesome piece of rubber a few times. It stretches across a pair of pegs. It would fall again and interfere with valve cover installation again and again.
-I finally just removed that crazy piece of rubber and stashed it in my tool bag. I don't think it served any important purpose.

I believe thats one of the seals (not a gasket) that goes on the edge of the plastic cooling shroud to seal the gap between the shroud and the head in order to prevent cooling air from the fan from escaping there rather than flowing around the head and cylinder barrel.
Some people can break a crowbar in a sandbox.
