First thing you need to do is stop pulling that rope. If it isn’t running after 3 or 4 pulls, there is something wrong with the motor or your procedure.. Stop pulling and start troubleshooting.

A six hp OMC is maybe the best-running outboard engine ever built. Don’t waste your time pulling. If you keep pulling like that, you’ll be having to fix the recoil, too. How many times did people bring us an engine to fix the recoil, when the original problem was, it started poorly or not at all….65 psi compression seems a bit low but I am not entirely sure what it should be. Hopefully somebody here does know.

high speed nozzle cleaned out with a wire and base gasket in place ??

what about top LS drip chamber and that really small orifice in the side channel feeding fuel the top drip chamber

did you carb clean and blow out all sections HS jet cleaned out ?

do you feel air sucked in the carb (get a friend to pull the cord while you put your closed fingers in front of the carb)

carb vent open ? carb gasket in place

my 9.5 works fine at 65 psi…work on the carb how was the engine running before the new kit ??
