Decomp valves are a life saver i hear, im a big guy and i wont kick my 86 without at least thick soled work boots and even then i have to roll it over to tdc then kick it like im trying to break it. And by roll it over i mean stand on it till the compression seeps the piston over
i cannot imagine the beast of a man that could start it on the side of a muddy hill after a hangup in a race
i forgot you done a bunch of work inside the cases with the balancer and what not and there may be more going on there than meets the eye
