How does this happen?

Don't think I had it out and dropped it...

Compression was pretty low, but I imagine the rings were washed. Regapped and it cleared up and ran good.

Top of the piston looked pretty clean, of course it had all that raw fuel washing it for at least 40 miles.
I re-gapped iut and installed, Seems to be running fine, great even.
