[QUOTE="RiderJoe, post: 1457014, member: 93203"] I agree with others. The diagnosis doesn’t seem logical. 1. With a good battery and low engine compression the starter would not struggle, quite the opposite would happen. 2. When you tried again the engine fired up, and ran fine on your 20 minute ride. You would have noticed if something was awry with the engine compression on that ride. 3. Next day you experienced the same starting problem. I think that #2 above is a key point which rules out the bad compression diagnosis, and points more towards a battery or an electrical issue. Your engine did not magically loose compression on all four cylinders sitting in the garage overnight. The issue probably started earlier, and the first symptom you noticed was slow cranking, which reoccurred next day. [/QUOTE]
