I forgot to mention that I measured the lift and that was fine.

A buddy is loaning me his compression tester so hopefully I can check that tonight.

Something's not quite right but I haven't been able to nail it down. Spark is great. Plenty of fuel and air. I don't want to pull the head just yet (that's this winter's project). Just thought if it's as simple as a lifter I can do that without much effort.
