How old is the engine build? If recent it may just need time for the rings to wear in a bit. If an old build then I might want to add some tranny fluid and acetone or maybe Marvels Mystery oil to each cylinder and let it sit a while, turning it over with the key off once in a while then put a good jolt in the gasoline tank, say six oz. to 10 gallons and run it for a while and see how that worked. Engine condition would determine my next move. I'm assuming you checked the compression before you started this thread, right?
