Re: starting when hot
Is the needle in the carburettor correct.
One tool i recommend if you call it a tool is a Colortune kit

Re: Compression test result
those results are very high
is the timing correct.
Are the valves opening ?
could the exhaust be blocked

Re: Front hubs and wheel bearings
Part of the inner bearing on my midget had welded its self to the stub axle because the garage that changed my wheel bearings in the past did not bother to grease them, so they overheated and when i went to remove them they fell apart
I have changed both stub axles,

Hi
Have you tried working the lever arm up and down each time you have poured oil in,
remember 40w oil when cold will pour slower
