The slow cranking problems I alluded to in our conversation had to do with enough cranking speed to generate spark. The starter should be turning the motor over fine as far as you can tell if everything else is OK. Does the motor feel OK turning it by hand? Any tight spots? Maybe just a little WD-40 would help without too much influence on your compression numbers. Don’t forget the gearcase may be tight and have to be pulled to get the motor to turn over properly. Did you check the lube down there? Just a few ideas you may have over looked.
