If you are only getting 6 volts from the battery to the starter it is only 1 of two things. The wire going from the battery to the starter is damaged or corroded and has to be replaced. Or the battery is no good. The battery may have 12 volts when you attach a voltmeter. Red on Red , Black on Black and this will make you think this battery is good as most people would.But when you apply a load to the battery the voltage may drop to the 6 volts therefor the starter when activated is now only receiving 6 volts which is not enough to start the engine. Have your battery loadtested and I will bet that this is the culprate

A bad flasher would not usually cause no brake light, the problem you are discribing sounds like it could be a bad multi function switch, that is the turn signal/hazard switch, everything you have that is not wrking, goes through that switch on most cars. Would need to look and a schematic to make sure and do some voltage checks, but that is the direction I would trouble shoot it in.

It depends on several factors. Generally, compression with all spark plugs out should be around 100 psi, but the main thing is that no cylinder is more than 20% different from the others. So if all are around 80 or 110 thats ok too. One cylinder that is more than 20% higher or lower from the others is not good.

Well your engine has a carb, so it could be dirt in the carb, or a vac leak, or several other possible causes.Does the choke close when the engine is first started ? Have you checked the fuel line to see if the pump is providing gas ?
