[QUOTE="ben2go, post: 54303, member: 751"] No work today on the boat.Instead I dug into the Gamefisher 5hp.I got really good spark but I can't get it to bark.Even spraying ether in it won't start.It'll make a small muffled back fire every once in a while.Could I have a bad reed valve?I am going to clean the carb tomorrow and order any needed parts.The reed valve isn't available for my motor any more.I know compression has to be spot on.It feels like it has good compression.It's a lot tighter that any other 5 horse I've pulled the rope on.What would be good compression number for a 5hp 2 stroke?150-160?
