is it necessary to remove the black metal shroud on top of the engine to get access to and pull spark plugs and check compression? it seems like dark holes and bad angles for the work to be done.

I have no problem with carbs. I use a piece of the cardboard box the plugs come in, wrap around enough on the plug so the plug sticks in the socket. Duct tape the socket to the extension. With the formed cardboard in the socket, reach down and slip it over the plug loosen it up and pull it out.
