    Here is a video of the car running. It was started cold, so not warmed up.

    Does this sound like a high compression motor? It is a circle track engine. I did not get a chance to do a compression check on it.
    Thanks.

    I don't know about compression from listening to it, but it either has a pretty lumpy cam, or the timing is off. Give it a good tune up and check the compression of all cylinders.

    It definitely has a lumpy cam. I put new plugs in it prior to, and it has an electronic ignition.
