Here's a service bulletin that will explain how to do a compression test so it means something.

I just installed a brand new carb on my 4.3 and I had a similar problem. My floats where not adjust properly fouling my plugs with fuel. Remove one plug and see if it is dripping with fuel. If it is chances are your mechanic didn't properly adjust floats or a needle is stuck on your rebuilt carb.
