As others said, take it back apart and check for needles laying down. Then lightly squeeze the cups on the cross in a vice to compress the seals. Take some measurements to be sure it's the correct part.
Then, remove the grease fitting to get it out of the way. Remove all the cups, pack with grease to hold the needles.
Here's the tricky part! Place the empty cross in the yoke. Push it all the way to one side, slip the first cup on the cross journal that is sticking out the yoke. Place the yoke in the vice and squeeze the cup in while keeping the cross journal firmly inserted in the cup to keep the needles in place. Then loosen the vice, put a spacer (a magnet works best) on top of the cup and continue pushing it in, past the snap ring groove, push it all the way in until the cross hits the other vice jaw. Put the snap ring on that cup.
Then carefully start the opposite cup in, be sure the needles are standing straight, push it in with the vice and spacer. Push it until the snap ring seats on the first cup. The snap ring can then be installed on the second cup.
Repeat for the other 2 cups. If it feels stiff, wack the yoke with a hammer on all 4 sides to firmly seat the snap rings and center the joint. Don't forget the grease fitting.

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
