2003 175 was stalling and missing. Did powerhead gasket kit, rebuilt all 6 carbs. Now it stays running, but still a miss. Did a compression test, all 110 except port side lowest cylinder is 90. Piston heads are clean, no damage on cylinder walls, plugs are brand new. What should I check next? How do I check if there's spark on that plug/wire?

You have to determine which type of a miss it is. Ignition miss or fuel miss. To check for spark on that plug wire, pull the wire off of the plug with proper insulated spark plug wire pliers.

follow the procedure in my sig below..also 20 psi difference is out of spec although it will probably run you will notice it.
