You decomp pluggers may want to think twice. Just saying....... Here is 2260 Jonsered, ported n such popped decomp out and I pulled again. 25° that day...
Yup...... I have one of those too. Definitely use the decomp more now.

Buncha young whippersnappers, I was allready 10 months old for Pres. Roosevelts day of infamy speechHey you Old Fart ! Just a couple years behind you. Keep On Trucking
Ron.......you need to learn to start them with your other hand. As odd as that feels, sounds, etc, you really should.
I've suffered a torn rotator cuff, elbow injuries, torn tendons, broken ribs, crushed vertebrates, and have even cut off one of my thumbs. All the while.......I kept working. A man just has to adapt. Work smart..........and keep going.
I have my wife start my saws.
My left shoulder pain is chronic (5 years +) so unlikely that I will switch hands for starting. Can't trace it to a specific injury but I sure can make it sore with use. I didn't know how much I covered for it with my right until I injured my right. Maybe I'll get it looked at further if the right does well. Doc repaired a full thickness tear in my right RC along with a torn bicep. Family , friends and others are after me to quit because I just cut for pleasure and to help folks a little. Plus it almost killed me once - but that is another story. Ron
Yes. I lost a new set of Cabers and an OEM MS460 piston because the impulse line and crankcase seal would hold until the saw got hot.Ever see a saw pass the test on the bench but leak running?

That's a hard one to detect . Or was it cause the crank was spinning and opened the seal because the bearings had some slight play?Yes. I lost a new set of Cabers and an OEM MS460 piston because the impulse line and crankcase seal would hold until the saw got hot.
It sucks.
I would hate to start anything at -40.Only with vaccum.
De-comps save wear an tear on the body and the saw. Anybody care to come on up and start a 395 at -40F? Let alone a 372?
Most de-comp leaks are from impact damage or re-use damaging the crush washer, and rendering it less than reliable.
This loose one that will almost drop down on its own was the first that I have ever seen. Most use a light press fit so that they will always stay up when the engine fires. Seems like a much worse condition is one that won't pop up because the fit is too tight.I wire brush every decomp that comes through my shop. Lots of them have carbon build up, though it's not on the underside of the plunger.
Vac and pressure test it and be done. Its the hard to push carboned and crapped up de-comps that worry me most. Only way to know for sure is to test it.This loose one that will almost drop down on its own was the first that I have ever seen.
