looking for any mechanics out there... 2001 Honda bf15 4stroke outboard. Kept up with maintenance, also replaced head gasket , however it is incredibly hard to pull with spark plugs in, with spark plugs out pulls with ease. Put a bit of ATF in cylinder sleeves (i thought the rings could've been seized.) it feels like to much compression, i haven't been able to fit a compression test kit in, i probably couldn't even turn it over with compression kit in spark plug holes. Any body have this problem before? I'm out of ideas but i don't want to quit on this machine.
Thanks guys
