I've checked the compression on all cylinders and they are all between 140-150 psi. However, interestingly #1 - #4 are all lower than #5 - #8.
I've also checked the fuel level in teh carb and both float levels were low requiring a couple of full turns on the adjustment nut to get the fuel to the check window.
Would that be enough to cause my low power symptoms?
If that doesn't fix it, I've borrowed a new carb to try that.
