I don't know what else to say after all these brilliant suggestions. I hope you find out the little problem that is holding you from getting this motor running. Good luck and have a wonderful day.
From what I know that valve lash is way out. Generally, they go between .006 and .009 or so. Might want to look into that. Also, compression test it. If you don't have one I do. Let me know.
Hey bud! Thats why I checked it out. They swivel from side to side but now in and out if that makes sense. Hardly no play in and out. Lots of compression so I shoukd get a little rpm poor running but something and ive gpt nothing. I ordered a carb.
Try spraying a small amount of gas use a pump spray bottle from something in the carb as U spin it over. Crab is probably blocked from stale gas after 2 years. If it trys to run while feeding it a spray of gas your carb is the issue. I think U will find 1 cheap on ebay like I did.

Gotta be a fuel issue. Did you clean the carburetor jet? New fuel filter?
Mike Cameron that’s what I’m thinking. I ordered one yesterday. Waiting is the hardest part
