Hackdady, Sorry your having problems. Check the wire connections to be sure all the wiring is getting a good connection. Be sure the ground especially is clean on the starter. It could be a poor connection that under load of the compression it won't draw enough power to roll over the starter. Check in the jet pump to be sure nothing is in there causing it to have more friction to turn over. The next thing to check if all connections are good is the starter. It might be going bad and can't roll the engine over under compression. Give it a check and let us now.
