Honda won't even recognize the problem and tell you to have them adjusted more often.
I have not messed with many of the OHV small engines to know how they behave. I have adjusted the valves on some small diesels and they are as you described loose from wear. Seemed like the first time (500hrs) you find adjustment needed but then on they seemed ok.
