5ml of oil isn't much.. maybe not enough !

If the tappets on that weak cylinder are OK, then you probably have a leaky valve .

Try Phils idea , use an old spark plug and braze a compressor fitting on to it ...or a tight fitting clamp might do.

After you pump the air into the cyl. put your ear next to the exhaust outlet and listen for a hissing sound . Then go to the carby and listen.


Or just go for it pull the head off !
