I have been propping J3Cs for almost 70 years. I am 87 and 130 lbs soaking yet. During my recent annual the compression in the fourth cyclinder was found to be low. The cyclinder was sent out for repair. When I prop the engine now I do not have enough strength to get the engine to start. Are there any ways for my IA to release some of this pressure? He says that it may loosen up after it is flown for awhile. Thanks,
Joe
