When I was a lad I had an illegal ancient motor scooter that didn't start. One of the dads told me:

"If it's got compression, and it's got fuel, and it's got a spark, then it's got to go".

He was right.

Just wait until you get a sheared pin on the distributor drive... Compression, fuel, spark, no go.
