Your post in the intro section says you have no compression on the kick start, but presumably it runs ok when you bump it? Sounds like your clutch cable could do with some adjustment. There should be an adjuster at the bottom end where the cable comes out of the frame. Try slackening it off a bit there.

sounds like it needs new piston rings at least if not much compression.
