Post subject: blows out a bang, but wont start

i got a 550 vision. Gas is not getting to the engine. My carb is clean Im sure. The only time that it fires is when i pull on the throddle, but then it just makes a big bang, it wont start. Now im told that it has something to do with screws that are not adjusted to the right settings. What screws are these and where do i go to get the settings and is there something else that im doing wrong. Another question is that one guy told me to check my engine compression. For this i need a tool thats 50 bucks. Is this tool necessary or is there another way to check to see if i have compression in my engine. Thanks if you answer.
