^^^ read above ^^^ 
but i wanted to add this:

after finishing the top end job i had a few leftover parts from the 'top end gasket kit'. A couple of rubber rings (some kind of oil seal it looks like), and another gasket that seems to me to be a reed gasket (rectangular in shape).  If I go back through to check on the ring placement, should I check on the reeds too? I dont know anything about the reeds, but I have a manual that will help.  
-Could the reeds be part of my problem, and what should I check for when I get down to it?
-Also, I have heard that the power valve might also be part of this problem....where is the power valve and how could it cause my bike to not start.
-Could the air intake and filter be part of the problem, how? the filter has been cleaned and oiled recently, but it is an old filter....should I try starting it without the filter on?

So many questions, Im hoping theres someone here that knows enough to diagnose this problem......
If theres a mechanic or someone in here that could discuss this issue further, Id appreciate an IM at 
g3cubed21 <--AIM.   
  
Thanks again.
