I got everything back together, put it on the bike and did a compression check. 65psi :cry:
i'm convinced that it's the base gasket. i'm gonna put the stock bore back on and see what compression i get. if it's good i'm gonna order a new gasket for the 51mm bore.

Double check again. If your getting spark and fuel and the compression is good,it should fire right up. If it doesn't then one of those is bad.
Nothing like getting stroked!
