Default 75 Ironhead, need tech tips

I just bought a 75 ironhead, it ran great till yesterday morn when i went to start it up, nothing, not even a bark. I checked spark, it was weak so i put in a new coil, checked the pointes and they were working, it was getting fuel, i tried pouring a bit in the intake and still nothing, the compression was down so i bought new pistons and rings, now it will just pop a flame out the pipes a bit but still no starting. Does anyone have any idea what I shoud be looking at next? Thnx Russ
