start with a compression test. Then take a fuel sample. Pull the fuel line off, squeeze the primer bulb and let some fill a jar or clear jug. Come back with a report of compression and condition of the gas

ok I dont know 1/3 as much as these guys on this site but first thing i would check is the water sepperator filter if you have one, take it off and dump the fuel in a glass jar to see if theres water in it and dont reuse the filter put on a new one if you have a water sepperator thats the first thing i would check, could also be a stator but i dont know how to check it . the way i checked mine is i took it to my mechanic and he checked it and replaced it 300 dollars later

I say yes...Sorry to see that. The numbers should be around 90-115 ( could be as high as 140) or so range and no more than a 10 psi variance
