Hi, I have a 1976 Johnson 6 HP that sat for several years but had run well prior to that. I have been trying to get it running again but when I pull the start cord the engine is very hard to turn over. I checked the compression and it is reading 112 psi on both cylinders when I understand the spec is 85 to 95. Any ideas on what may be causing this and remedies for it. Thanks, Scott
