Re: 72 whisper tip
yes it will be a belt drive it is the wide 72 I got not narrow but if I ran this prop it would just have to work a short time until I could get a bigger one

Re: 10:1 compression on stock starter?
a stock starter should start that motor with ease mine works just fine with that compression ratio if you think it is timing them unhook the wire to ur distributor and try that see if it turns over any better I am gonna say you prop have bad connection somewhere or a bad starter maybe
