motor wont start goat spark go

motor wont start goat spark got fuel check compression very little if i put oil in it i get about 60psi so i took the back off it where the plugs go in i dont see any thing wrong with the walls when i turn the fly wheel by hand i can feel it pushing air and here it so where would i go from here thanks!
 
just thinking here the head ga

just thinking here the head gasket has hole or is worn in the middle of the two cylinders when the piston is firing would that cause it to blow up into the other piston on its down stroke and be causing a problem like no compression
 
Good that you had 2nd thoughts

Good that you had 2nd thoughts and entered a second post to tell us about the blown head gasket.

Install a new head gasket and torque the head bolte to 18 to 20 foot pounds in the following sequence.

9..10
5...6
1...2
4...3
8...7
