Ya it has one yes I also have the switch on it
By fill up I mean it won’t completely fill up
Compression is good how do I check timing
Ok ya I just pulled the carb apart and put it in an ultrasonic cleaner. I don’t think that’s it. Where exactly. Should I spray the starter fluidBefore you get into timing, what is the history of the motor? Was it put into storage with gas still in it? Did you try some starting fluid? It's a whole lot easier to give it a shot of fluid and see if it fires, than taking things apart to verify timing. With a motor that new, if it's got spark and compression then most likely the problem is a clogged up carburetor.
That said; to check mechanical timing, to be sure the flywheel didn't shear the key and slip. Pop the valve cover and look at the cam while you turn the flywheel to TDC. Every other revolution the valves should both be closed when the TDC mark on the flywheel lines up with the indicator. This will help:

But like I said above, try the starting fluid first. If it runs for a moment with starting fluid, then the timing is fine.
Also don’t know too much about the history it was running for the guy I got it from and I believe he let it sit and now I can’t get it to startBefore you get into timing, what is the history of the motor?

Are we talking about a 2T or 4T? I was assuming a 4T. Also I've used starting fluid with 2-strokes many many many times, it's fine. When I was a teenager back in the early 90's my buddies boat had an old Mercury 150 v6 2-stroke that refused to cold start, so we kept a can of starting fluid in the boat for the first start of the day. We must have driven that thing half way around the world. Wait tables at night, pool our tips in the morning to fill the boat, go wakeboarding or fishing all day, rinse and repeat. He had a boat and no truck, I had a truck and no boat, we got along really well.
Yes using choke
Well yes I know but engine where I can pull the cover off, and the carbs are exposed when starting, I was just wondering where to spray it on these tiny carburetors without having to pull it apart
You should be able to get it into the carb via the air box that is right in front of the carb...
