So today I had some time to check compression on my motor and boy was I shocked. Low was #5 at 95 lbs and plug was black and oily, High was #6 at 160 lbs with a dry black plug. So anyways shouldn't compression be at or around 200 lbs. Other than plug #5, all plugs were dry and black. Oh yeah anyone hear from POSTCAR (Mike) in a while?  |

What was your reading across them all I believe that they shouldn't be more the 10% of each other

There's a list of items you can try to pinpoint your problem, my first guess would be timing chain, has it ever run good?
I hear from Mike every now and then, seems to doing OK, his family is still growing as he was blessed with another grandchild a few weeks ago.

You can do a wet compression test
A few drops of oils down the cylinder during each compression test for each cylinder if compression goes up it's blow by by the ring if not could be timing or valve issues
Flames out the carb dies sound more of a timing issue
