Hey. Motor not getting gas. The intake going into block is wet but spark plug is dry. Compression is 45 psi
Any help would be great. Thank-you

The compression looks low. Hold your hand over the throat of the carburetor while a helper makes a try to start the engine. Low suction means low intake manifold vacuum. Squirt some engine oil on top of the piston. Then see if the engine
fire or start. Hal

Getting an accurate compression reading on an engine with a compression release is about impossible, on most K321's the carb bolts directly to the block if this is the case the throttle shaft maybe worn so that its not pulling gas into the engine even with full choke, try squirting some gas directly into the carb while cranking and see it it will fire.
Is the fuel pump working and getting gas to the carb?

Probably time to remove the head to verify both valves are operating correctly.

May want to check for blown head gasket?
