Hey guys, I picked up a 2014 550XP with a scorched piston. Got the factory P&C kit, replaced the crank seals, new base gasket etc. Got it back together, but the new kit came with a plug for the Decomp. Is this a change that is recommended or just an option to delete it? It looks like the old one had a transfer leak, as it looks overheated on one side of the cylinder. It does have a newer AT12 carb on it, so I'm guessing it was replaced. Once the new rim sprocket comes in (going to run 18" 3/8 .050 to keep things simpler here at the house, and let the 357XP wear the 20") I'm gonna take it to the dealer to get carb reflashed/cleared.
Should I keep delete the Decomp, or put it back in? Any other updates that are "must do"? It looks to have the old style top cover too.
