    I forgot to mention that I have pushed the float pin down "until fuel runs over" as per the instructions. It seems that it won’t even pop with the choke on after priming it. Seems to get better after many pulls, but then if it doesn’t start it seems to be lees likely to start again.

    Is 70 PSI compression low enough to make these motors that hard to start? If I could get it to run for a while, it may loosen u the rings.
