Hi Eric yes compression is good as far as I can tell have taken carb of to check jets etc.
There have been some other threads on fuel starvation on this forum recently, but to get the motion lotion where it's needed you need the following.
1. A clear breather hole in the tank filler cap;
2. A free-flowing petrol tap.
3. A fuel hose which isn't kinked or blocked
You can check these by undoing the pipe at the carburettor, opening the tap and seeing how freely the petrol gushes out and into whatever container you have to hand and for how long. A clogged tap filter or faulty tap won't get you very far.
3. A free-flowing feed into the carb.
With the fuel hose reconnected and the carb float bowl removed, turn the fuel on again, if it pours out of the carb you know the petrol is at least getting into the carb.
4. a clear start circuit in the carb body, see my last post on this thread, you might need to remove the carb, strip it and possibly get it ultrasonically cleaned.
