My neighbor came today to help me with the 1250 today. He's a mechanical engineer and pretty sharp when it come to small engines and a lot of other stuff. After a lot of testing and diagnostics, it was determined the points were all screwed up causing very intermittent spark. A new set of points and the engine fired and run.
Rough, but it at least run. Will deal with carburation later.
The ACR really sent me chasing a compression problem that did not exist. I have been known to fix things that are not broken.
As always, I appreciate everyone's input and suggestions on this issue. What a resource this forum is.
