[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 482293, member: 7376"] many of the tohatsu smaller motors have either a nonexistent or poor compression release. Second you have a single cylinder 4 stroke. The combination is going to be a little on the rough side to start manually. The 4 stroke dirtbike trick is about all you can really do. This assumes that the engine valve clearance is within spec, or maybe on the tighter end of spec. I mention this because as the clearance opens up, looser valve clearance tends to cause more engine compression. [/QUOTE]
