IIn regard to my non starting UMS 9-9 9

I have determined that the ignition system , including batteries and plugs , is OK. The fuel is OK. The new Pegasus carb was reset to factory manual specs and admits fuel to the engine at low throttle. All of the rocker arms appear to be operating in proper order, The engine feels smooth when turned over by hand. Raw fuel comes out of the exhaust when turned over with an electric starter. Still no start.
Last season, when the engine ran fine, the fuel was run out of it and air tool oil and after run oil w ere injected, at the end of each flying session. The engine was turned over by hand at least once per week all winter when sitting in my shop. After all this attention and many hours of trouble shooting this season the engine remains in a useless condition. I have given up trying to start it. I would much rather spend my time flying. Thankfully I have a number of other 1/4 and 1/3 scale models with engines which have remained trouble free over the years

Does anyone know of a service provider to whom it I could send this radial?
