The engine quit with a loud grinding noise while running at speed. Now the starter doesn't seem to be able to spin the motor easily. I checked the compression on each cylinder and found 3 with 100 psi and 1 with 70 psi. Is this indicative of a cylinder/engine problem? I also drained the lower unit but the oil looked great. :confused:

I was afraid of that. Thanks for the help you have given me Trent. I'm not sure I'm good enough to be playing in the cylinders, might have to take it to a real mechanic!
