with not enough compression, spark wont matter. simple compression test, put your finger over the sparkplug hole and spin the crank and see if the compression manages to pop off your finger. if it doesn't then its low.

pull your cylinder and check rings and piston, might be able to just get new rings, but looks like a possible top end rebuild.

good, then make sure u don't try to start it up with the bad/old rings, you can damage the cylinder lining.
