GIANT ENGINE- decompression valve

Has anyone used the Husky chainsaw engine with the decompression valve and does it help start engines converted to RC use? Thanks CaptinJohn

GIANT ENGINE- decompression valve

Hand started engines need compression to start easily..A compression release makes hand starting harder...Get a big glove or an electric starter, or CD ignition with a spark retard..An engine set up this way can be started with one finger...Been There, do it all the time to demonstrate.....I use my little finger on converted G62 engines.....

I guess the compression release valve must help rope starting only... the rope pulls more easy.... different from hand starts I seen 2 chainsaws with this feature and just wondered. :eek: Thanks RCIGN....just wanted to see if you where on the ball!!! :) Take care Captinjohn

GIANT ENGINE- decompression valve

some Quadra engines had the compression releif valve as well.
it had to be opened to start and it closed just after flipping the prop. I think it was one of the first Q65/75/100 series
