Hello.
I had some problems with my engine a while ago but it turned out to be a fuel problem. Can read about it here, but not that important right now I believe: https://motoredbikes.com/threads/engine-started-before-but-not-anymore.66112/
6 months ago I ran it about 25km with a leaking exhaust. At first, the engine ran fine. I tried fixing the leak and eventually gave up. The further I rode the more the engine started dying. Eventually, it did not idle anymore and then it did not start. I tried starting it, it just "started to start" (so fired a bit) but did not start. I left the bike there and got it delivered to where it is now. 6 months later I fixed the leak (before I could not tighten the exhaust fully because the threads were stripped and that caused it to leak), but the engine is not starting. Does not even start to fire when I pedal it around.
I have spark (can see it visually in the dark and the RPM gauge, which works by reading sparks, shows RPMs.
I believe I have fuel going to the cylinder because if I try the cylinder with a paper towel, put the thing back together, and crank it - then it gets wet again.
I have compression.
I tried changing the fuel for a new one and even tried putting a bit of fuel into the cylinder but that did not help it either. (the pictures are taken before I put something in it manually). The amount I put in it just made the piston head a bit wet, but did not make a puddle in it as shown in one of the pictures.
