Yes, NormK, does feel like it has compression. Marked difference in turning motor with plug in or out, and can definitely feel when top of compression stroke.
Just grasping at straws with this one, but refuse to be beaten by a machine. It's just like I used to repair computers, you work out all the reasons it won't work, then eliminate them one by one until the fault is found. Have so far eliminated the leaking fuel & the lack of spark, have cleaned out carby both internally (main jet, emulsifier, idle jet and all apertures)and externally, replaced bowl & gaskets in carby & gaskets between carby & inlet manifold. Every thing feels like it should start, it just won't.
Even tried a few checks & remedies from previous threads. Confirmed that I have fuel flow by undoing bleed screw on carby & turning fuel tap on (with cup underneath). Have removed cover from air filter box to check if air flow was problem, but no joy there either.
Just looking for that vital piece of missing clue that will solve the problem. All assistance is greatly appreciated.
