I agree Bruces, even with a new motor that was broken in properly I would be surprised to see anything above 135lbs and would typically expect to see about 120lbs with an accurate gauge on a little engine like this.
Has the pick up/sensor coil been tested? And if adjustable the clearance between it and the flywheel? After that it's time to verify TDC with a piston stop as previously mentioned, check timing chain and tensioner and cam position (visual confirmation that the lobes are pointed equally down) at TDC. After that tested with a timing light to see when the spark is actually happening.
At this point the carb has nothing to do with it not starting. It should run with just squirting gas or ether down the intake.
