No, not running at all. I've had it run maybe a couple of revs under its
own power a few times, then it dies on me (it doesn't seem consistent
though - if it fires like that, I can leave the throttle in exactly the
same spot and come back to it a few minutes later, and it won't fire at
all)
Why did you pull the head?
Just to take a look at the valve seats & cylinder bore - only takes a
couple of minutes, and I wanted to make sure the valves looked like they
were seating properly and the bore wasn't trashed for whatever reason.
All appeared OK, though.
cheers

If compression is to low it wont start easily or at all, you need a
15$ tester to find out the real pressure. Leaking fuel to me means
flooding, is plug wet after you try.
