Took flywheel and armature plate off, took spark plugs out, took carb off and I blew into the hole the carb go on while turning propeller. I gave it some suction also. I put it back together and checked compression again and it is at 60. I had to make a gasket for the fuel line at bowel connection. Got cork/rubber gasket material. I opened petcock valve to see if fuel line leaked. That is good now. I noticed grease leaking out of the foot so I had tilted the motor back to look at the foot and noticed gas coming out of intake tube. I shut the needle valve all the way. A few minutes later I decided to pull the rope before calling it quits for the evening and the motor ran till it ran out of gas from what went into the carb. About 8 – 10 seconds.

Putting it in the trash can tomorrow to see if it will run longer with the petcock valve open.

I am so thankful for all the help here.
