What was the result of the ghetto compression test? While the engine is idling, pull 1 plug wire off at a time and note any changes in idle. If you find 1 wire that doesn't change the idle, inspect all of that part of the ignition system from the plug back to the dizzy rotor.

Might be. I remember in the early 80's we only have RON87 & RON91 for our cars here. not sure which fuel is better as i stick with RON87 fuel.
Last year the radiator fins corroded & gone bad, i send it to the radiator shop to recore with new 3 row type. My mistake is i don't replace the water pump that time (coz of tight budget). Everytime i run 140km/h+ the engine temp starting to rise from normal temp to 110-130 degree celsius. Well engine overheat is bad for rotaries, but hopefully this is not in my case.

Check your fuel filter first and foremost. It's a cheap and easy fix if it's the problem and just good maintenance even if it isn't the problem. The stock filters can clog up quickly and your symptoms sound like a clogged filter.

Sorry guys for my bad english. I'm not that good in english. Hopefully you all understand the words i type here.
Will do it ASAP. FYI, every time i filled in the gas i always mixed it with MMO or 2 stroke oil in the tank. I hope those MMO/2T oil is the reason the fuel filter clog up. I got no other way to run premix except by filling it in the tank.

today i got chance to drive the car, max speed 100km @around 2500rpm for about 70km destination, water temp rise to 110 degree celsius which is not normal, coolant reservoir drying up (i filled up the radiator & reservoir before i drive).
possibility :
worn out water pump & inadequate air sucks to the intake which leads to carburetor Air/Fuel mixture problem (time to rebuild)?
