running on one cylinder?

Heres my issue, I have just replaced my crank, pistons and rings with the wiseco kit, and my banshee ran fine. It was running the best that it ever ran. Then all of a sudden i notice i dont have as much power as before. I check it out and one exhaust is puffing the normal amount of smoke and the other barely had any coming out at all, which brings me to the conclusion that my right cylinder isnt firing right. Before i tear it apart to see whats up i wanted to see if anyone had any ideas of what it could be. I mean like i said i replaced the pistons, rings, and crank. I checked the spark its good to go. All you can smell is gas coming out the tailpipe. I really dont kno what could be going on. Help if you can, thanks.

Check the cap on the pick-up coil on your flywheel. It should be set at .020, and now would be a good time to replace your spark plug boots. They are cheap, and easy to replace. When you replace them, be sure to cut a little off the ends of the wires, and they just screw in.

i checked the reeds everything is AOK. I will double check the sparkplug boots and such but i know im getting spark, so im not positive it would be the boots. I will post with what i can conclude

 

compression test it

carbs are in sync?

its not a jammed float open? flooding it?or closed starving it?

choke crossover tube is inplace?

not a dodgy plug under compression?
