Default RE: Loss of compression

Valves stuck, rings stuck? Pull the valve cover off, and make sure the valves move when turning the prop. Then, I would fill the tank, REMOVE THE GLOW PLUG and spin it up with the starter for a couple minutes. Be sure to do this at full throttle.

Put the plug back in and proceed as in a normal start up at low throttle. Bet the compression comes back.
