Hi, Im trying to get my 1980 twinstar up and running again but have hit a road block. I recently replaced the old cylinder head (which had a stripped spark plug port) with another used but unstripped cylinder head. Being the scrub that I am, at the last timing step I dropped a bolt down the cam chain port and in to the body of the engine. After removing the engine, the cylinder head, and the cylinder body I was able to shake the bolt out then put it all back together (with new gaskets). Now when I try to kickstart the bike, the engine makes a very weird bubbling sound out of the left engine cylinder. I tried using the electric starter at no avail. The engine isn't close to turning over. Any idea what could be causing this and how to fix it? I am pretty fresh to motorcycle mechanics and still have a lot to learn. I also rebuilt the carb due to a small gas leak in the main injector and it is no way tuned correctly. I have attached a clip of the sound the engine makes. Thanks for the time
