So wouldn't a carboned up cylinder increase compression?

I'm gonna guess that #3 glowplug hasn't worked in some time and that cylinder

I'd further guess that if you replace all the GPs, switch to Mobil 1 if you
aren't already using it and blast on a 3 hour 80MPH drive (grab 95 and head
north) your problem will get better.
Oh and replace that primer pump, anywhere fuel can get out air can get in...
