if it ran but died it sounds like a spark issue. if you have good compression and proper timing then its ether fuel or spark. just bumping the main up a couple sizes shouldn't cause it to drown out bad enough to not start.
no a silencer is not need to start an engine.
O! and buy a new steering stem and reinforce the crap out of it!!!! had the same thing happen-just welded a sleeve and reinforcement around it.

I have good compression. Itll seem like it starts up perfectly, run for less then a second then just die. Ill sit there and keep kicking it and same thing. Whats the correct measurement for the coil? And intake is .001" right and exhaust is .003".? I think thats all it could be. I even tried using starting fluid, no difference so its not gas related. Spark is the problem. I guess
