Just to let everyone know, the compression was probably fine. I just forgot to hold the throttle wide open when taking the reading.
What I did find the problem to be.....
A $.07 piece of steel!!!!!!!!!
My $26 replacement carburetor (Rontang I think is the brand) uses an "E" clip for the throttle needle. Some how that "E" clip broke.
So the diaphragm would pull the slide up, but the needle sat inside the jet, thus starving it for fuel.
Ugh......!!!!!!
