    I took out the spark plugs as advised ( THANK YOU :)…that helped a lot. Compression is very reasonable with plugs out…fly wheel spins around multiple times with one good NOT strenuous pull. However, when I put the plugs back in the compression is still very STOUT. An outboard person that I am friends with off this sight suggested a couple of short sprays of WD40 into each cylinder through the plug openings. I did that and that helped somewhat…but still very STOUT compression. I still have to give it a really good pull to get the fly wheel to move around just ONE turn. Any suggestions? Eric
