switch it to reserve and try it! worked for me when one of my cylinders wasnt running

had the same problem yesterday. i started her for the 1st time since november. she started fine without the choke. after 10 mins of warming up, the pipes were on luke warm at best and she would bog when giving throttle. i switched the petcock to reserve and the pipes became warm right away. both exhaust had fumes coming so i know it wasnt running on 1 cyl. why the drastic change when i put the petcock on reserve?

tried switching it to reserve and nothing still got the same prob compression does seem a bit lower just kickin it over...so what do i go through for that pull the head off and check the internals?
