06 electric start. Carbs cleaned good. Rode it all Sunday for 8 hours. Started giving me issues starting in neutral then it wouldn't start. Only way to start is push starting. Is this either my valves or auto decompressioner?

this guy took the time to give a nice detailed run through of how to adjust and set valves on these machines

Checked my intake and exhaust valve clearances.. everything was on point. Noticed when I checked compression I had 0 psi.. checked my decompression arm and started ajusting the set screw outwards. Comprrssion started to build. Brought it up to 65 psi and fired right up. Not too sure how my compression completely dropped when the bike was riding like a champ. Running great again now
