Close the mixture screw all the way. Keep flipping the
motor over till it starts and cleans itself out. Open the
mixture screw 1-1/4 turns and try again. Don’t charge
the cylinders.Should start on the 3rd or 4th flip if not
sooner.
If you’re not getting anywhere, close the mixture screw
all the and keep flipping the motor over to be sure it
isn’t flooded. If it doesn’t clean itself out within a dozen
flips it wasn’t flooded. Open the mixture screw another
1/4 more and try again. Your battery should be 6.2
volts or higher so there is no question about the voltage
being too low.
Timer should be pointing to about 6:30 – 7:00 o’clock.

Click on my video below on the timer. It will explain
how it works and how to set the point gap.

Its not likely you have too much compression unless the motor has been
modified or incorrect parts have been installed. The way to check the
compression is with a compression gauge. Expect it to be between 65
& 75 Lbs. You should remove both spark-plugs and turn the motor
over. It should be more than “fairly free moving” with out any binding.
If it is free and smooth check the spark plugs for any sign they are
hitting the pistons. Not likely but check for it anyway.
If you find it is binding when rotating the flywheel that could be
anywhere, including the gear case.
