Wink MMO--FLL Approved...

Add some Marvel Mystery Oil directly into the cylinders, let it soak a few days, use starter fluid to keep it running or stuttering a few minutes, and retest compression when cold. (Or warm like before). Use the same gauge, then retest with another. Your former 89 is OK for a 2-stroke.

A substitute for MMO is automatic transmission fluid, but it's missing the minty odor.
