New engine, won't run!

Pull all the plugs, squirt a little oil in each cylinder then do a compression test.

If you feel up to it do a compression test first then squirt the oil in and do the compression test again to see if there is any change.

Let us know what the compression numbers are either way.

It may just start after the oil trick but if the compression is too high it may not have enough spark energy to light the mixture.

What ignition system is on this motor? Any chance of swapping on a known good ignition system from another rig?
