Perhaps an issue with reed valves and / or crankcase compression??----Sorry, I can not see or touch your motor.---Just adding some things to check.

That's a pretty big issue there. I'll have to look at the manuals to see how to check all that.

When you did the carb do you recall seeing the nozzle gasket? If so did it go back in? If unsure you will see it on a parts page. Have seen a few of these over the years that people leave out thinking they aren’t important.

Good callout, I did make sure it was on. I'm using the one that came in the oem kit, so I'm assuming it's a good one.
