Default Engine won"t idle

On returning from a 60 mile ride whenever I stopped the engine would die,checking it out at home I could hear a miss in the exhaust pipe and a crackling noise at the carb.I took a compression test and found only 40 lbs at number one cylinder and 60 to 70 on the others.I pressurized #1 cylinder with 60 lbs air at top dead center,air leaks out the carb;also with the #2 plug out the air will come out #2 cylinder while #1 is under pressure.I assume #1 intake valve is not seating or burned but why is air coming out # 2 plug hole?
