Too much engine compression .21 picco
Any suggestions?? Barely turn it over with my fingers as its very very tight..Impossible to start on starter box.. Tried heating it and got temperature up to 200 deg but was still hard to turn.. Tried loosening glow plug as well.. Maybe add some lub inside sleeve?? Out of options...

I've never come across an engine that will not turn over on a good starter box with a loose plug and being warmed up. What starter box have you got? Are the batteries good?
