[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1456994, member: 19880"] New one to me. If the engine is FUBAR (get another opinion!!), it is cheaper to get a good used engine on eBay than to rebuild. Never heard of an engine that messed up with even ten times that much mileage. Never heard of someone doing an upper engine cleaning, either. Laboring start could be weak battery or starter - might need to check out current draw with a clamp-on DC ammeter. Spin but no start might be flooded - see Fast Starter Syndrome on the forum. Usually cranking with WOT (wide open throttle) and a fully charged battery will eventually clear it. That is WAY low for compression. Either test was messed up or something broke! Wouldn't run that low! [/QUOTE]
