    Just did a compression check — it’s low — 40’s, -= believe it needs to be at least 85 ….. this could explain fuel starvation at attempted low speed I think — insufficient vacuum for fuel pump. Motor is also somewhat hard to start …. i’ll be getting into the powerhead. Ordered a brand new carb — but … I don’t think that’s my problem.
