The fact that the compression readings are identical might indicate that the head gasket is failing a a area between the two cylinders. It would be a good idea to check that possibility.

Also, did you manually clean the fixed brass high speed jet that's located in the bottom center portion of the float chamber? Fuel must flow thru that jet before it gains access to any other fuel passageway.

Thousands of parts in my remaining stock. Not able to list them all. Let me know what you need and I'll look it up for you. Visit my eBay store at:
