Saw that the early top end used the solid head gasket so swapped over to that for the sake of it.
Did the quick test of removing the air filter, putting my hand on the intake and then cranking a few times. Should get a handful of gas at that point, but not only was there no gas, there wasn't even any suction. Big clue, finally!
Then just walked it down. Removed the carb entirely and found that I had suction on the head itself.
But when I went to test the intake, discovered that I hadn't CUT A HOLE in the DIY gasket!!
Bone headed mistake, but at least problem solved.
As usual, as soon as I cut the hole and put everything back together, she literally started on second kick.
Straight pipe is loud and awesome! Almost too loud to leave it idling but sounds fantastic.
