well what was the problem.

What wasn't the problem might be easier to answer if I'm being honest.  With a leak down test the engine leaked from several spots, reeds were shot, crank bearings had some noise, leaking oil from almost every case seal besides the kick starter, top end was destroyed originally, carb needed a rebuild.  I wish I could have just replaced the crank as well while we were that deep in it, but I was tapped on cash by this point unfortunately.

The only thing to do now is get my jetting sorted out, and cross my fingers nothing else goes wrong.
