I fired it up, it ran didnt want to start in neutral but would start with a little throttle and would idle back down... it sounded like there was a little bit of rattling going on and i shut her down right away.

anyone have any insight on that?

Rattling is a bad sound to hear in a 2 stroke engine. If it's piston slap, it's to be expected in an engine with slightly lower compression on one cylinder, but it could be worse.
