Answer
Hello Oscar:

Did you  Remove, Disassemble and Soak the Carburetor Overnight in Carburetor Cleaner (I Use Gunk). I have Found that Most People can Use a Breakdown/IPL and Disassemble the Carburetor Enough for Proper Cleaning. You Only have to Remove the Bowl, Float Pin, Float and Needle Valve and Any Adjustment Screws that Go Into the Carburetor Body. The Welch Plugs Do Not have to be Removed. Then Soak the Carburetor Body and Parts in a 1 Gallon Can of Gunk Carburetor Cleaner Overnight. The Can has a Parts Tray Inside it for the Small Parts. Once the Carburetor and Parts are in the Cleaner, you can Replace the Lid for Safety and to Prevent Accidential Spillage. Then Blow Out the Passages with Compressed Air. Install New Parts if Required. If you Did Not Soak the Carburetor, then it is Not Clean. A Soak is the Only Way to Remove the Varnish that Build Up int the Jets and Passages of the Carburetor. What is the Compression? There Could be a Cracked/Broken  Ring. There can be a Problem with the Valves. If the Compression is Good and the Carburetor was Soaked and Rebuilt Properly and the Air Mixture Screws are Set Correctly, the the Engine Should Run. Im Thinking the Carburetor. Did you Check the Fuel Pickup Tube? Is it Cracked? You can View a Breakdown/IPL of this Engine at this Site Addy, http://www.smallenginepartswarehouse.com/parts.asp and Select the Shop Online Parts Look Up. Then Select the Model Tab. Then Select the OEM and Enter the Model Numbers. Then Double Click on the Model in the Results Area. Now you can Select the Section of the Engine you Wish to View. Hope this Helps. I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Thanks.

Good Luck
