Default RE: gas fuel with glo plug no ignition

I ran it again this evening,runs decent but still playing with carb adj.Loses some rpm up to 1/2 throttle with power off plug. The amazing thing is I can hand start it.It does like to run backwards actually believe it runs better backwards.It has decent transition from fast idle up.
I should mention this is an older engine that seems to be well worn I traded for this to play with and beleive the compression is not what it should be because I can put a few drops of mystery oil in the cylinder and compression seems to double for 8-10 revolutions then drops again.
I read the post about adding more nitro or methanol to keep plug lit and will try that later. Just waiting for daylight so I can terrorize the neighborhood again!
