Check the engine compression pressure and ensure they are within specs. If not, pump some engine oil into the cylinders via the spark plug holes and crank the engine without the spark plugs for a few seconds and recheck. If compresion has increased but still not up to specs, repeat process. DO NOT put excssive oil into cylinders.
