Before I go any farther and take off more things than I need to,anybody have any ideas? It just quit on me Sunday morning. Went to start it back up,it kinda fired twice then just whirled like it had no compression. Last fall it acted that waay and had a broken rocker. So I took the tank off,took off the front and back cover,both valves are opening and closing. I still have some gap in the rockers. Took off the carb and exhaust pipe. Blew air in the spark plug hole and it blows out the hole where the carb bolts on even when the valves are closed. Doesn't blow out the exhaust. I stuck a small wire in and can't feel a hole in the piston,I know,that doesn't mean it doesn't have one. Stuck a wire down in the intake valve and turned it over and it grabbed the wire,so the head is still on it.
There was no noise when it died or anything. Just sat there idling while I opened a gate and died like it had idled too slow,not uncommon.
