Welcome aboard, matcodude69! :) We're glad you're here! :cheer:

Would check the valve clearances. Might discover one or more being too tight, especially intake valve on the non-running cylinder. An intake valve which fails to close can spit back through the carb. Maybe adjustments of valve clearances to specs could resolve the issue.

Good Luck! :)
