Is it true that if you can move your flywheel a little or it wiggles when you try to rock it back and forth does this mean your engine has lost a lot of comprssion and do you have to get a new engine.
 
That's a new one on me. You could have a loose flywheel nut and if left loose you could end up with some fairly decent damage. I'd pull the engine and make sure everything is tight before using it again.
 
I have not ran the engine for about 4 months because of the mixture needles. I'm going to the rc shop in two weeks to get the engine tuned. or to see if it needs a rebulid or a new engine.
 
The flywheel should not wiggle at all. EP has given some good advice. Check to make certain everything is tight. I doubt you will need a new engine soley because of a loose flywheel. If that is all that is wrong with it, a new cone and a couple of turns on the clutchnut might solve the problem.
