Leak down test before you tear it down. Do you run open flame arrestors or the stock air box with the Wax adapter?

I run blowsion arrestors. Just pulled them off before doing the compression test

I think you're probably right. Will report back later lol. Im running 89 octane (ethanol free) gas with 36cc domes. Does this sound right?

No holes! The pistons actually look pretty good. Theres some mild scoring in the cylinder above the intake port but noting that I would think should cause that kind of compression loss. Must be be the reed?

We all gotta learn somehow right?
Acid, hone, a fresh piston and rings and you'll be good as long as the tolerances are still within spec.

I would expect to be boring thr cylinder after a full throttle seizure. Especially when it looks lean like the piston wash indicates. Which could also be not enough Octane for the compression. The only way to know is to have the piston and cylinder measured. Y0u might get lucky but plan on a rebuild

I have a spare one if you want to borrow it
Don’t use metal spoons you need the tension from the plastic
