Do I just need rings?

So I have a banshee that I have not really ridden yet since I bought it (it ran when I bought it) I bought 2 and I've been riding one and gettig this one set up the way I want. Anyway I went to start it up after getting the tors delete on it and I am only running on one cylinder (choke side) only getting exhaust out of that side, the other pipe stays cold. I have spark on both cylinders, I switched out plugs, and I swapped the reeds and nothing changed. I did a compression test this past fall and I had 120psi in each cylinder, the bike hasn't been started or really touched since then so I am unsure how I could have lost compression. I don't have a tester right now but putting my thumb over each and kicking, they both feel the same I will do another actual test in the next day or two. What do you guys think? should I put new rings in? Also this may or may not be a related problem but while its idling, If I push in the choke it starts revving uncontrollably and I have to kill switch it.

The other odd thing is that when I unplugged the cold side spark plug boot while it was idling, it shut down. I would assume that if it was only running on the one side it wouldn't make a difference if I unplugged the spark on the side I don't think is firing. Stumped

Yes the slide cut out is on the intake side of both carbs

 

The cut away is suppose to face the filter/ filters not the reeds/intake. Just making sure ya have it that way.

 

Check sync? Leak down? If ya have had the reeds out maybe a leak in the gasket.

Yeah when I said intake I meant the airbox, I just ruled out a carb or fuel issue, I took the right side carb out of my other banshee that is running great and jetted the same and outfit on this one as well as replaced the fuel line with clear fuel line. Resulted in the same issue I saw fuel was making it to both carbs and still not firing on the right side. I am going to rent a compression tester and check compression tonight. I am betting I somehow lost compression on the right side or I had an inaccurate reading the first time. Leak down will be next IF I find I have good compression
