She doesn't run

Hi all,
I recently sold my 2007 Key West that was bored out to 70cc to a friend who had it for a couple of weeks then it suddenly died on him during a ride.  The scooter has good gas and has a solid spark, the compression is about 30 psi after a few kicks.  I feel kinda bad that the scooter crapped out on him and want to try to help him get it back on the road.  We also took a few photos of a hose and filter assembly that we cannot figure where it goes or what it does.  So, if anyone could offer ideas or suggestions to try to get this puppy running again we would be very thankful.

looks like the emission canister the hose goes to the
pipe on the exhaust pipe .

sorry to tell you ~
such low compression is most likely a bad set of rings
or  crapped out piston .
