First.......put in a new plug. Just because it fires,
doesn't mean the
plug is good. I have seen engines run (poorly) with a bad
plug.

You say it has compression, but does it have enough. Just
because the
valve seats look good, doesn't mean the are closing all the
way. Check
the gap, should be approx. .04
