I have an Evinrude 90 HP outboard 2 stroke 4 cylinder year 1995 on a 17 ft boat. I noticed that it had trouble restarting when stopped for fishing and trying to retstart. It seems to turn fine and crank but did not start. I did after few tries. This happened a few times. Started always, especially by keeping it running a 30 seconds or so on the starter motor.
Now the issue is that it turns but does not start. I even replaced a new battery and starter, sparkplugs ( it has spark and jumps 3/4 cm). Checked for fuel issues and cleaned up the carborateur. The spark plugs seem to get the oil fuel mixture. It does seem to cough and has smoke from the exhaust.
Also compression seems to be low around 60 in each cylinder with hand crank. (Starter motor is being replaced). The compression is low but should start right? May not have a lot of power but engine should start. But it is not. Which is the challenge. Why?
What could be wrong? Powerpack?
Thanks for your expert help.
