    Thanks fleetwin and outboardnut for your input.

    Current compression is 70/65. One thing I’ve noticed is when plugs are in motor barely wants to turn over, either electric or recoil  start. No where near enough spin for engine to fire. Remove 1 plug it gets a little easier, remove 2nd plug, easier yet. Which in my simple mind would mean there’s plenty of compression, or am I missing something?
