That bike won't start with 50 lbs. of compression.
These new riders get hosed quite often, and it's a shame because the think they are getting into riding with a cheap bike. It's never the case. That bike probably needs more than a top end, I think you should take it back to the seller and whip his ass if you were mislead.
We had a guy bring an RM125 about two weeks ago that he had just bought for about $1200. He had no idea how to adjust the chain or cables, clean the filter, or a whole laundry list other things that are basic to dirt biking. It ended up needing resleeved, a new rod bearing, the carb completely rebuilt, and everything that goes along with that job. The bike left running and costing him a fortune, but still needed major work on the chassis.
I't a hard lesson to learn.
Are you sure you know how to use that compression tester?
If your compression is 30 psi, you should be able to push the kick start lever down with your hand with very little resistance, and there's no way it would start.
Will the bike run?
If you bought a bike that doesn't run, and didn't even try to start it before you paid for it, you need more than mechanical help.

Hi Jason, hope you're getting a good chuckle out of this!
BTW, 10.5:1 is good, but you can't run pump gas.
Yup, you're fourteen.
Do us all a favor junior. Go ride a four-stroke. You two deserve each other.
