Welcome to the forum...

I'd start with doing a compression test.

 

[nivektionsoccer12]

compression is at 90... any other ideas

thanks

 

[nivektionsoccer12]

correction on the compression test it was about 120psi both ways, forward and reverse!

Is there anything else i can check or ideas anybody knows, small engine not my cup of tea really
any help would be very helpful

thank you

If you have 120 psi compression, good spark, good spark plug and getting fuel the only thing I can tell you is either the carb is plugged up somewhere or the muffler is plugged. Try unbolting the exhaust and see if it starts. If that doesn't work maybe someone else has some ideas...

Thats good news. You can try a muffler BBQ to see if that does the trick...
