Thanks again for all the help. I have finally given up on the beast. Compression was consistently 90 PSI, timing was correct. I put in the proper spark plug, still no fire. Giving it to my son who likes to tinker. I will be buying a new unit, probably a Stihl product.

Thanks so much for the reply. I have not had time to work on it yet. I will pick up the correct plug and borrow the compression tool. I will let you know how it goes. Should I assume, if it is the flywheel it is cost effective to fix, if it is compression loss it would not be cost effective to fix? Thanks again for your help.

Thanks so much for your reply. When I mentioned injecting the carb cleaner, it was in the spark plug hole. I am fairly good with engines (intermediate). What is the best way to check compression? I do feel air out of the exhaust port with the muffler removed. I assume there is a tool I need to verify compression? TDC = Top Dead Center? I will check the timing that and get back. At what point would this be more costly to fix then to buy new one, it has been a very good weed trimmer. I really regret not taking better care of it, 1/2 tank of bad gas was devastating or perhaps it was the fall. I forgot to mention with the new carb. it does not leak fuel into the muffler anymore. Also another mention the hardware store did not have the correct plug rcj7y but had cj7y (looked like the top was just a bit longer than the rcj7y so I used it, could that cause the timing to be off?
