Check the reeds, make sure the woodruff key hasnt sheered.

I once left a plug in an exhaust port after a leakdown test, and it took me a week to figure why that cylinder wouldn't fire. Check the exhaust for obstructions.
 
Piston in properly? reeds good? Was it running before tare down? Leak tested? Is spark at the correct time/ sheered woodruff key?
 
150psi is not the greatest on a yz125..depending on the gauge.
power valveso_O
how did you check for spark?
if it was not running when you got it/perhaps crank locked up,and person before you unlocked it then sold it as is lol...did you see any metal shavings anywhere when had top end off?

No I didn't see any metal shavings everything is there. The compression spark is good everything idk what else to do
