seen some stuff at west marine last time i went was designed for 2-cycle outboards. cant remember the name at the moment, will look when i go again. but i agree, if you have to spray starting fluid in it to get her going theres a problem, i keep a can of ether in the boat just in case on the water. low compression can cause starting difficulties, but once the pistons warm up they expand and get a better seal so it can run right warm, but might be a beast to start cold. ether burns hotter so warms it up quick. there are probably other things that cause it, just speaking from my own engine experience.

went down today using my Seloc manual disconnected the Black Yellow single pin plug at the power pack, engine started right up and ran fine, I couldn't stop it unless I plugged it back in. Unless I am reading the book wrong ( which very well could be ) this means either my Emergency kill switch or my ignition switch is bad correct? Can anyone verify this for me?

Three quarters of the time the problem is not the switch itself but the devise on the lanyard (whatever that is called) that is removable in a man overboard situation.
With age it tends to warp just enough to cause the switch to activate. And yes I think you are on the right track, ignition switch or kill switch problem.
