So my Xt550 was running perfect, went 95mph , then back to 75mph, then just started doing hard starts, I have 155 of compression, I have spark, it only starts on starting fluid but you would have to rev it up past like 3 k rpms then low idle it’s like it doesn’t even exist, I really need help I was looking to sell the bike at first, not sure if it’s the cdi, can’t be if I have spark ??

Please help
