Bump start that thing...it should work!

Hows your timing? if everythings all good you're probably flooded... how do the plugs look? are they wet? you could also try putting a little bit of oil in the housing to help bump up compression.

I don't understand why your compression is so low, you must have the engine flooded. de-flood it by pulling the egi fuse and cranking it for a long time. Then put some oil in the spark plug holes and crank it over a couple more times still with EGI disonnected, this should help get some compression.
only do this of course after you have verified you're getting spark etc. Don't let it sit too long after getting flooded without running, the fuel will wash away any lubricants and you might find yourself with some stuck apex seals :( marvels mystery oil could be used too. |

I am also inclined to tell you to first check the timing. If your compression reading was taken holding down the release button it should be ok. It always reads low when I do it that way.

first low compression engine last six months and 10k miles...... that one i resurrected from the dead LOL. second jspec was PRE-BLOWN.... third one is perfect . you know what they say third time is the charm :bigok: |
last 2 i put in were hell to get running but after that they cranked easy. we had to remove leading plugs and deflood them. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R
