Need more info

Is it a 2 stroke? What fuel mix you running? Why'd you change everything? Have you adjusted the carbs idle? Pictures?

I have used 32:1 for many years on these (4oz per gallon). No idea what's in your bottle, but sure sounds like lack of oil is seizing it up. If so, I'd run a tank of 16:1 thru it just to polish out scuffing.

I agree with Cassius need more oil and check your carburetor to make sure it's level and tight.

 

[seanjamespage]

the carburetor is level and really tight on there and i checked the compression its reads at 160 and i doubled the oil

You need to know your oil ratio..... Don't just keep throwing oil at it

A oil bottle typically says how to do ratios on the side

 

[seanjamespage]

the oil ratio is 16:1

Check and see if you are getting spark.
