I have a Redcat Chimera 30cc that I ran 7or 8 hours of 25:1 last tank ran out, let it cool put 32:1 in and it never started again started with the obvious first, spark, fuel air. Put new plug regaped coil. Cleaned air filter nothing checked factory settings, nothing.

Took head off replaced head gasket an piston ring ,new spark plug regaped again set csrb to factory, nothing.noticed I had less compression than originally, disassembled again took new ring out noticed it was smaller than the original.put old one back in better compression.(the bag had the correct part #but it was the wrong ring).still won't start the cylinder and piston look fine very little scratches crank gets filled with fuel after a while off pulling..It's been sitting for a year and cleaned it all up new plug new gas won't start. What gives?
