I have a hard time starting the engine, I managed to get it to fire one pop but stoped right after. I previously cleaned the carb jets but still doesn't pull a strong mist of fuel out when I crank it. I'm hoping its not my compression as it fired one pop right? The engine hasn't been started in 2 years as well. Any ideas?
Compression or carb issue?

The way I would test this is to get some starting fluid and then try to see if it runs better with the fluid.
If it has not been ran for two years I have a suspicion there is some major gunk in the carb. The carb may need a good soaking after two years.

Did it run ok the last time you ran it? If it did it probably has just gummed up the carb.

As what was said on your previous thread.. you have a fuel pump.. It might not be hooked up properly To pump the fuel in the carb...
