It does not pump fuel well even after carb pump kit installed. only runs for a short period of time with the choke half closed.

Generally with compression as low as yours the engine needs attention. The low compression along with bad crank seals is causing the hard start and fuel delivery issues. You could have bad head gaskets, worn cylinders and worn rings. You won't know until you tear it down and inspect everything.

I agree with Pat.

Those Kohler engines are easy to fix.
