I assume you did check the compression. Remove the spark plug and put your thumb tight over the hole. Then turn the crank. If the engine can't push air out past your thumb, then it can't breath and needs rings. A new carb will not help at this point.

You should also be able to feel the engine compression when turning the crank. The suction from the cylinder is what makes the carb work.
