The engine doesn't have much compression lately, although it does have enough power to do tic tocs. Very difficult to start lately as well. I took it apart and, if I squirt some alcohol into the cylinder (through the exhaust port) and manually turn the crank to force the piston up to TDC, I can see the alcohol running down the side of the piston. That's not a good sign, right?
