I think a compression testor is one of the finest tools a back yard mechanic can have in his tool box. That and a vacuum guage. Do a compression test. Its easy, cheap and its low hanging fruit. If no compression, re do the test but this time, give a couple of good squirts of any kind of 30 wt oil and re do the test. Lets see if this is compression related or ignition related.
