They will generally start on low compression but have very little power. After cranking it over, remove a spark plug and check if it is wet. If it is, it could be an ignition problem. What colour spark do you have? it should be blue and not orange. Try installing new plugs (if you haven't already).One other thing you could try to check for fuel, buy a can of engine start, remove the air filter, give the inside of the air intake a good feed of engine start, then try to start the engine. It should at least kick then stall, if it does it is a fuel/carby problem</blockquote>
