I performed the compression test (cold engine). Results as follows:
#1- 390 psi
#2- 440 psi
#3- 360 psi
#4- 460 psi
I'm a bit concerned about #3. That being said, I tend to doubt that outright
stalling would be due to a compression issue. Any thoughts?

No. This could be your current problem (leaking primer pump). I'd replace
that and the glow plugs (don't forget to ream the glow plug holes, flattened
glow plug would do the trick) and if the idle quality gets better, drive on and

In many cases, NO. sometimes you can see bubbles in the prefilter if
the leak is ahead of it.
Best low cost cure/check is to start with a near empty tank, and

No. Because the carbon interferes with the rings moving and

Technically, the presence of the carbon will decrease the volume

Maybe, but this is only one test. I say not so fast. it seems there
are possible air leaks and we still don't know if the missing is low
speed, high speed or all speeds. High speed missing is a fuel
problem almost all the time. air, algae, plugged screens/filters are

Apples, Oranges... Gump has only copper seals. A leaking copper
seal may or may not have an effect on starting. on the 95, there are
copper seals and orings. Most leaks on these are orings. Leaking
orings don't affect starting. Leaking copper seals may or may not
affect starting.
