Is the passage from the decomp to the exhaust port clear? as long as the decomp valve closes I don't see why you couldn't open up the passage. on a side note I use valve lapping compound to get a good seal.

i've never had this problem, but you should be able to make the hole going from the decomp valve to the exhaust port larger for more less-compression. haa.

i wouldn't mess with the hole the valve sits in, though.

jason is leading the field in vespa problem development. ..and solving.

yeah it was totally mis-aligned. Probably a 4th of it lined up.

Yeah I dremeled it to match the hole in the cylinder...still didn't do a whole lot though.

put a counter sunk bolt in it.

problem was solved with a different belt. I need to get the number off of it. it doesn't ride all the way out like the malossi does, but it's beefier and starts without slip. So for now It's a keeper.

Brad, all you need to do is take out that little cotter pin and the whole thing should be pretty self explanatory. There's a little pin that has ends that should be bent in two different directions. If you bend those back straight (which should be easy because its made from super bendy metal) you should be able to pull the cotter pin out with a pair of pliers. I recommend taking it to a local hardware store and buying a new cotter pin for 10 cents because the old ones seem like they could be hard to put back in.

Good luck.
