Ya'll think it's low on compression and could use a pinch?
It "supposedly" had around 3 gallons on it when I bought it used on here and I've put almost a gallon on it.
Runs awesome when running but unless I keep the glow igniter on it the engine will die at idle. Put a new plug in it and it runs perfect for a while and then does the same thing again. Won't stay running without igniter on it.
Running OS plugs. Tried P4 and P3 with same effect.
Check the silicone ramp in your crank shaft.
