The engine was running terribly . So i called it a day, and brought in my engine and took out the glow plug. There is absoutely no pinch whatsoever!! After 1/2 a gallon, i am pretty sure that my engine is losing compression!! Now i kept it rich whenever i ran it and was very tedious during break in and cleaned it every few runs. So please don't tell me my motor is going on me already!!!

The engine was running terribly

terrible fast or terrible slow???
How you know your engine is losing compression? Can't keep idle or you need to higher the idle? Have you try another new plug? Or is there any leaking?
