That's a hard puller.
Good morning Ron.
It's strange I was going to ask about this and then I read your post.
On this 800/805 I'm working on; I'm guessing this is not OEM. It has NC threads.
Clint
The PM805, 800, DE80, and PM8200 all used a 3/8-16 thread for the bolt or compression release located above the muffler. The compression release can be difficult to find.

So, this just happened from me replying to a third cousin this morning on Facebook.
He said it was a McCulloch and all he could see from a distance (He hasn't dug it out yet) is 50.
Please Lord let it be a 1-50 and not a Titan or Double eagle.
The 35 years comment is in my favor.
I'll find out tomorrow when I pick it up.

The release makes things easier on you and the saw. I highly recommend one despite all those who think using one reflects negatively on your manhood.Thanks Mark.
I knew you would know.
I might know where I can get one.
Of course to work there needs to be a tiny port underneath the bolt pictured. It is no problem to drill one if there isn’t one.

Sure is easier on the starter assembly on high compression saws.
Even though I'm 68 and bought my first saw in 1977, plus I have over 70 saws now, I have jokingly said decomps are for girls. I agree that on higher compression saws it is needed.

I don't use them because the saw starts quicker, least number of pulls. Unless its got a popup piston or had the base cut and compression ring cut.
Difficult to find? Looks like we just found who is hoarding them all! Lololol
No kidding! That guy acts like he’s running a museum or something! Lol
You try an 850 with no decomp lol. The 800 isn't so bad as the Qport helps but an 850 will bust ya fingers or atleast make you wish ya hadn't of done that or bust the cord
Well, I won't be picking up a 1-50 tomorrow.
I'm not going to whine, it is free.

Yep I forgot to push the button once AND my left hand slipped off the grip. I just about had Promak 850 imprinted on my forehead

I've started a SP81 without many times you just have to yank it like you own it and don't let go thats what hurts when the pull handle rips through your hand. Larger than 85cc I always push decomp or the cord will break.
I always use a decomp button when available, unless the saw is fresh and doesn't have fuel in the system.
I've shattered plastic handles on some saws when I've forgotten. I'm also of the school of thought that it should be started like a winning lottery ticket is gonna pop out when it starts.

Decomps can be dangerous if you forget to push it, or its spring is weak. I tend to ease my grip on the saw and then wham you are pulling the saw out of your hand or position which swings the bar towards some body part. On a heavy saw like a 125, you rip your fingers off. In either case, those of us with bad shoulders can get a double whammy of pain.

850 port and Q-port from the inside.
Well thats interesting. Thanks for the pictures.
My 81 will too. Not the 850 its very fresh.
I've got a mate with a rebuilt no decomp 288 and its a bit like the 800. A fresh non Q is something else
