Did I lose compression?
I had just got done fixing my fuel leak and started it up...let it run for a minute and then i barely rev it up and it makes some noise from the motor and then started running really bad...as if only running on 1 rotor. I then pull the plugs to check them...decided they were bad so i replaced them with the new NGK's i already had and it still runs bad and has NO power when driving it. Im thinking i lost compression in one rotor but wanted to get input from everybody on here.

Im actually hoping the motor is a loss because i have a T2 motor here locally that i can get for dirt cheap...this is just a reason to do the work and install it.

If you just fixed a fuel leak it and then the problem arose, it should logically be something related to the work you did. Try checking your pump and filter unless you already have. There's no reason for the motor to just suddenly lose compression because of a fixed fuel leak. Do as Troichoid said and have a friend crank it over and see if you get the 3 equal puffs per rotor or not.
