If you take the intake manifold off and turn over the engine you can look in the intake port and see the piston. If there is no hole in the side of the piston then take it apart.
when I opened up the cylinder body I saw that the piston had no port holes other then the holes for the pins

Ok so nobody Has really answered my question though... what would cause for the engine to not be able to pull gas from the carb?

reeds require a vacuum to open and close, these engines run backwards to normal ones (they run clockwise vs normal engines run counter clockwise)
to fix this you need a hole in the piston to get the vaccum at the right time.
as people said, try a windowed piston. it should work then, and be sure to check for air leaks, as major ones can stop the motor from creating a vacuum altogether.

Ok does the one from bike berry work? https://www.bikeberry.com/66-80cc-2-stroke-dual-window-piston-1.html

Which piston is the 40mm one?
High hole piston or low hole piston.

High hole for the 40mm and low hole for the 38mm con rods if i remember correctly.

and the search query: https://motoredbikes.com/search/22839/?q=high+hole+and+low+hole+piston&o=date

Long rod cranks take high hole piston,
Short rod cranks take low hole piston.
What letters and numbers are stamped on your connecting rod?
