My compression reading were 141 to 129 all 8 cylinders and I am running premium gas. Is it true if the lower compression and higher octane might cause poor firing in the cylinders, premature firing. I did charge my third battery in the back by the onan generator and I got the beast to run. So the gas is good enough for the generator to run. How does carbon buildup in the intake affect the gas flow and stalling? I have multiple issues with engine related stuff. thanks
