I just saw some poofs.If you've got nothing on a compression tester then you're not going to get away without stripping this engine down.

boy this sounds like the same exact issue i am having trying to get a buddy's cart running. we have looked at and cleaned everything from the gas tank thru the lines, filters, pumps and into the cylinder. we have rebuilt the upper end. we pulled the flywheel, and to our amateur eyes the ignition device in there (dont know the proper name) looks ok. we have we have what looks like a pretty weak spark, but it is sparking. but the motor is all lugged out and coughing and barely running just like your video (thanks for posting that!).

did you ever get yours running? and what did you do to fix it? thanks in advance...
