So I recently got a reed valve from amazon, link here just in case you might need it. I windowed my own piston a pretty decent amount (following the "outline" already in the piston from behind the walls) and I did all this in one single day. Now, when I go to start it, it doesn't want to stay on. All I hear is a few pops here or there when trying to start it but the engine doesn't actually start to idle. Then, when I try and rev it up cold (ik not a good idea but just cus I had to test) it does rev up there but it like hesitates. It revs, stays there in that rpm somehow and eventually doesn't even idle, just dies on me. I don't know what it could be. In case this is relevant, I do see mist coming out from the intake port. Maybe the gasket in the kit doesn't exactly seal it? Maybe a reed valve defect? I'd like some insight on the matter please
