I learned from tech school - Always run a compression test first on the bike before even touching or thinking of fixing anything else on the bike. 
Even if the bike sounded like it was brand new perfect running condition - the instructors would scold us if they didnt see us do that first. Takes like 5 minutes of your time if you have a comp test kit.
