Do you have a video showing how to set the throttle and governor linkage on a tecumseh?

You removed the spark plug, installed a compression tester and turned the engine over to confirm compression. Then you removed the compression tester, reinstalled the spark plug, hooked up an inline spark tester, turned the engine over again to confirm spark. Then you began to address the condition of the fuel and mentioned you’d be working on the carb.
During those procedures you turned the engine over twice without checking the oil first to confirm an adequate amount so as not to damage the engine or determine the presence of a fuel leak through the carb by smelling the oil.
I would have done the oil check first. Then I would have inspected the fuel in the tank and the condition of the tank itself. Next I would have removed the spark plug, added some fuel into the cylinder, reinstalled the spark plug and turned the engine over. If the engine fired, then in one step I have confirmed airflow, compression, timing and spark. The only thing left is fuel, the one thing you suspected.
At the same time that the spark plug is removed for testing, the plug can be inspected to provide an assessment of the running condition of the engine as well as confirm that the plug gap is correct.
