Today I rounded up a compression tester. It confirms that the compression is indeed on the low side. That's ok because now I have a good reason to get the BBK and pipe I have wanted to do. It is sort of interesting how much temp changes can affect how an engine will run. My take is that as temps decrease,metal contracts,thus increasing clearances between the piston rings and cylinder walls. In my case once that happens when the temps are a certain point my compression goes away through the increased clearances causing a not enough compression to run. I may not be right but it is the only thing I can think of right now.
