Or it just wont turn over at all? If it acts like it is wanting to but wont get a revolution in turn, try leaving it in gear and push it forward just enough to move the pistons past the compression stroke, then try it... if that works, then you are vapor locking the engine... hope this helps...   Logged     Photo Album Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one~ Benjamin Franklin   The administrator has disabled public write access. #234547 Cappdawg (User) Eric Fresh Boarder Posts: 71 Re:Compression Release. 2 Years, 3 Months ago   I may sound stupid, (but it wont be the first time ) Where exactly is the decompression valve at? Just by looking I dont see it on the top of the head.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #234550 TheGrinder (User) Any xistence dprived of freedom is a kind of death Platinum Boarder Posts: 1429 Re:Compression Release. 2 Years, 3 Months ago   Take a look at your sig pic... just behind the heel of your boot... see that little grey cover? that is your decompression solenoid... two screws and the cover comes off to expose the brass spoon... go check it out....   Logged     Photo Album Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one~ Benjamin Franklin   The administrator has disabled public write access. #234568 vegasdave (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1079 Re:Compression Release. 2 Years, 3 Months ago   there was a 1/4 inch play when I checked it.

Just right behind the cam cover( i suppose thats what that is). Will have to check mine sometime, because its hesitated to start a time or two, just like it couldnt power the crank over on a compression stroke.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #234583 TheGrinder (User) Any xistence dprived of freedom is a kind of death Platinum Boarder Posts: 1429 Re:Compression Release. 2 Years, 3 Months ago   No problem... and that is exactly what it will do to ya... check it before you try to start it in cold weather... that is when mine did it the most... I check it every year just before winter hits... makes starting a lot easier... also, to help that issue, if you put a switch on your headlight... that way you can turn your headlight off and most of your battery juice will be directed at the starter instead of trying to power the headlight and power the starter... my .02...   Logged     Photo Album Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one~ Benjamin Franklin   The administrator has disabled public write access. #234586 vegasdave (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1079 Re:Compression Release. 2 Years, 3 Months ago   It does not want to turn that big engine over if that thing is at full compression   Logged     If Your Not Moving Forwards,Your Moving Backwards Live To Ride,Ride To Live 06 Road Star Candy Red SMOKIN!!!!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #234609 TheGrinder (User) Any xistence dprived of freedom is a kind of death Platinum Boarder Posts: 1429 Re:Compression Release. 2 Years, 3 Months ago   vegasdave wrote: It does not want to turn that big engine over if that thing is at full compression Sometimes it does that, that is the reason I said put it in gear and rock it forward to get it past the compression stroke... and wahlah... it will start... also, may want to check your batter connections and clean them... that really helps with these beasts too...   Logged     Photo Album Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one~ Benjamin Franklin   The administrator has disabled public write access.
