You're a big boy Wes so if you're finding it that hard to start I'd actually say it's got TOO much compression. I've run/owned a few saws with 200psi and they're not that bad with the decomp on. Worst thing I've had is high comp saws like my near sold pop upped 660 that spit the decomp out mid pull. A wrist breaking exercise for sure
well then modify the decomp
I should not be hard to do after all it works like a pressure relief valve
except it shuts instead of opening.
you need a decomp that operates at a higher pressure
force = pressure per area
need to increase the force require to close it
A fitter with a bucket pump and a good pressure gauge can work out what it is set at.
Try 5% more until it A it will still start first time when warm. and B it don't hurt to start your saw.
May be I should start offering to mod your decomp
