Default Re: #1 cylinder has 36psi compression

Do you have a way to pressurize #1 with air. If you have a n air fitting that will go in the sparkplug hole (leak down of compression tester type) Place #1 at TDC, pump about 10# of air in the cylinder. If you can hear air escaping out the tail pipe, ex. valve, through the carb, int valve. If you can't hear it escaping at all probably rings. Kinda "shade tree" but us country folks have country ways.
