I don't know your age or experience, but I know mine. If it was mine I'd get in and look at the tensioner. Once that was squared away I'd be looking at getting it running, and not pulling the head until I knew that had to be done. You had compression, three times. Leak down, yeah, I'm sure they're valuable, but really, the rings have gaps. All the engine cares about is what is the compression when the engine is spinning. Low compression will run.. If it's backfiring out the carb, I'm wondering about how the valve check was done. I'm gonna go back and read,, if you didn't describe how you did it, that'd be good. I wouldn't hit the starter until I'd looked inside.
