Hi Lefty

Indeed these decompression valves can develop leaks. One can remove the valve, press the button in and clean the business end in case a piece of carbon got lodged in the valve. I have also seen these valves get bent, how I don't know. If memory serves me correctly, the threads are the same as a 10mm sparkplug thread, so one can use a small sparkplug such as an NGK-CM6 as a block-off plug to eliminate the decompressor valve for testing purposes. A saw of this size will run with no decompressor valve, but it can be a bit of a bearcat to start. Hope this gives you something to work with,

Well it took six months but I finally got the intake cover plates today.

It's getting to be ridiculous. I asked my wife for a kiss this morning and she told me they were back-ordered.

Could be worst on the back order items.

Today I fighting a new problem/ I ordered some Oregon CC spindles. They should have grease zerks and they don't. Now what to do the five I got with two installed. RBI said all the ones in the warehouse is the same. They call when they hear back from Oregon so my project is on hold now as I can't grease the spindles.
