Update, once I turned my attentions to cdi connectors and got some performance back and less misfires, I clipped/stripped the wires from block, cdi, and throttle and put new wire clips on them, wouldn't start so for some unknown reason I decided to check where the block wires connect to the magneto in case I had pulled them loose or something. Turns out that my "compression" issues were only loose cdi connectors and a magneto whose grounding wires (that come off the coil) had broken loose from the solder that held it into the block. I didn't have a soldering gun so I tried to heat up the solder with my bic with no success. Ended up cutting off a piece of my Walgreens reward card that I hardly use and wedging it under the coil which pressed the grounding wires back up against the solder tightly. No misfire or sputtering occurs any more even at WOT (yay!) I know it's a temporary fix till I can get a soldering iron but it works! Fingers crossed that that small piece of plastic doesn't break loose and ruin my magneto.
