Hello all, just joined. Used to frequent forums, but haven't in a while. If this issue has been brought up in the past, please give me a link to the thread, I really don't even know what to search for because its a specific issue.
Anyway, I bought this Donzi not long ago, ran great. Took it out today and the issues started. Boat fired up like usual, started to pull it to shore to let my wife in and it stalled out. From then on, starter would engage flywheel, but flywheel would just turn with no compression. I fought with it for about 45 mins at the ramp trying to figure out what was going on, and ended up putting it back on the trailer with my tail between my legs and taking her home. When I got home, I went ahead and hooked the hose up to it, and decided to see if the compression issue was still there. Wasn't... Now its turning over very slowly, like its struggling, as if there is too much compression, or battery is dying (its not, I checked the charge). I am mechanically inclined, but I don't know 2 strokes at all. Any advice to point me in a direction would be awesome! Thanks!
