check your compression between the cylinder head and cylinder. if it has
little power it could be losing comp. does this model have a head gasket???
if so, make sure it isn't blown. if not, clean both surfaces (head to
cylinder) well and sand with a very fine sand paper. tighten head bolts all
the same.
