Checked compression a week ago it was 135 back 140 front

Had put oil in the gas when we bleed the oil lines then the sky was fowling plugs so I put fresh gas in sky ran fine for a little while now only running at 70 percent and seems to be getting a little worse

Correct 787 motor

K thank you so much

Does. The oil tank need to be full to bleed the oil lines ? The reason I ask is when bleeding the oil line I noticed that the line coming out of the top of the tank isn't full with oil and while bleeding the lines I can't seem to get oil to flow into that line so I'm wondering if it's because...

Ran the ski with the air box cover on this time and it did make a little difference but still not much power I believe its from to much oil can anyone help me with the oil pump alignment , the piece that the throttle cable wraps around has a little slash in it if I'm not mistaken that is for oil...

787 motor still at garage I'm gonna check the compression my self tomorrow

Put fresh gas in carb and cylinders still won't start sometimes backfires it seems like it's not getting gas but putting gas in carbs or cylinders it has to be getting gas. Any idea what's the lowest compression it will start on and anything else i can try to solve the problem Thank you

Put fresh gas down the carbs still didn't start , how high should the compression be

Yes top end rebuild

I have my ski at a my buddy's garage where they work on cars he has a mechanic who claims he worked on skis in the past and when you talk to him he really seems to know what he's talking about, the ski is back together and it won't start and it backfires sometimes ,the mechanic is telling me...
