18hp intek fouling plug and slow to turn over on start

First post so be gentle.

Have craftsman lt2000 with Intek 18hp single cyl. I have 2 problems with it. One is difficulty turning over on start. Battery is good so i think its the relay. I have tapped the side wall where relay is bolted and it seems to get it to connect better. Can this relay (think thats what it is) be rebuilt or cleaned up to give correct starting or does it need to be replaced?

Next problem is fouling of plugs. After 10hrs the plug is black and oily and has to be cleaned and the engine uses notable amounts of oil. I have adjusted valves, were pretty good anyway. Thinking rings or valve guides. Dont have compression check yet. Suggestions for rebuilding the top end? Any youtube videos or instructions you recommend?

Thx

Bonose
