DX, I can’t say for sure what your problem is but I had a very similar problem with my SLT-1554 with a 27hp Courage engine and my problem turned out to be the starter. At first mine would just spin slowly and struggle on the compression strokes and over a period of months I did many of the same checks you are making but the situation slowly got worse. For a while it would start with my light duty jump-box but after a while that no longer worked so I started using my pickup truck and eventually that wouldn’t even work so after I had checked and rechecked everything I decided to just get a replacement starter. Problem was solved. F Y I my SLT is a 2006 with 800 hours and I am now on my third starter but I used it for about 2 hours today and it starts great. I hope this helps.
