After today we got the engine to turn over and catch but it won't idle. It has to be given throttle to even start and it sounded really rough possibly a cylinder not firing. So we also did a compression test. The first cylinder built up pressure when turning it over. the other three cylinders were low, I believe 10, 60, 30 psi left to right. I'm not sure what this could mean, possibly timing is off or another problem? Cylinder sleeve? Any way to diagnose this?
Put new spark plugs in and they all work.
Here are the pictures of where the timing chain is. I couldn't get it exactly spot on with the mark and the crankshaft pulley is lined up to the notch on the case.
