My car won't start

[FIXED]: Okay, so i fixed it. The ignition switch wasn't wired properly, now i get a "tink tink tink" sound that i think I'll be able to fix in the future, thank you for your comments.

Original problem message (in case anyone cares): So i wired everything, bought a brand new battery from Teimo's and the car has gas. When i put the battery in and go to start it, as you can see, it makes 0 noise, and idk what it could be. It's my first time in msc so...

Does the radio no longer play music?

I remember watching Squirrels videos years back on his playthrough of MSC. I remember his radio playing songs and I'm almost certain when I played this years back for a few weeks, I had music playing on the radio. Is this not a thing anymore?
I know I can add my own, but wanted the creators original songs

I assume my pistons are just fucked?

First drive out to Perajärvi on the Satsuma. On the way back I was delivering flyers, and after getting the last box the RPM's started jumping. After heating up crazy fast the thing shut down and started stalling after starting. 8 reloads later and I managed to get home before any major kinks showed up; engine died next morning. After tearing apart the entire engine I'm met with these 3 very tanned pistons. I didn't replace the one banged up piston from the start but it couldn't be the cause of this, right?

can someone tell me whats wrong 2

I replaced the head gasket and the pistons, but I still have the exact same problem. In fact, I feel like the engine cranks even less often now, and most of the time I only hear a single sound/click from the starter. from what i can see it only cranks if the battery power is bellow 12 on the extra gauges, if its charged it dosent crank.

Below is my original post.

I assembled the car and everything was working fine. I took it to Fleetari to have the engine adjusted to factory settings. When I picked the car up, it started smoking white from the engine bay and seemed to have slightly less power.

After that, I adjusted the distributor, and the car started much more easily again. However, suddenly, from one day to the next, without touching the engine, the car completely stopped starting. The starter just keeps cranking and cranking, but the engine will not start.

I replaced the battery and spark plugs. I also checked all the bolts and connections. The carburetor, distributor and rocker shaft/valves have all been checked and adjusted. There is definitely a spark, and the fuel pump is working.

It is also worth mentioning that the coolant level was slowly dropping, and the engine oil was also disappearing. The engine was shaking and stalling at low RPM before it stopped starting completely. White smoke also comes from the engine bay while the starter is cranking.

After removing the cylinder head, I noticed that one piston is black while the other three are grey. The head gasket itself looks fine, but I am not sure if it can still be faulty despite looking normal.

Does anyone know what could be causing this? Has anyone had the same symptoms and found out which part was actually broken or worn?

Rate my 1972 satsuma 1000lx. Recently restored

Its rocking around 92 horsepower after a fresh engine rebuild, dual carb and my own inspection tune. Had this save since like 2024 and the car has 107,952 KM on the dash. Also a tribute to the 1988 Finnish film 'Pohjanmaa'. */10

One more question about importing music

I've been trying different programs for months, and I know how to convert them to OGG format. The problem is that I need to download a YouTube video so I can use Audacity. The issue is that all the websites I've tried either require payment or don't work with YouTube. I'm wondering if you can recommend any easy-to-use websites where only the video is saved to my downloads. Thanks in advance to anyone who replies :)
