Decomp or Not

[GA_Boy]

Thought I'd put up a poll to see who uses decomps or not.

 

[angelo c]

your opinion will change as you age....mine did.
I raffed out roud at a decomp on 066s when I was younger...now I use it on a 261. Gitten Old sux

I'm 73, I've got de-comps on all my saws. Not only does it make starting much easier, it helps the longevity of the recoil starter. On my modded 029, not only do I have a tuned de-comp on the 390 jug with the pop-up piston, but I also put on an 066 coil with the 4 degrees of retard on starting. Just pull and go - no 'starting drill' needed.

I built a Husqvarna 55 that had 250 psi compression. If you didn't use the decomp you would break the starter. I have a Husqvarna 545 that has a decomp, but I never use it, I don't see the need for it on that saw.

I don't use the DeCo's on my PS-7300 and PS-7310, I noticed that they require more pulls if I do , so I don't.
They're stock.

Yes. Unsure why anyone wouldn’t.

If saw is warm, I usually just give it a big pull without, but I don’t even try on my 200+ psi 3120 without pressing the OMB (old man button).

If it has one, I'll hit the button on cold starts.
Its what its there for, so why not.

Why not? You want to support rewind parts manufacturing. I also use the OMB on cold start, warm starts leave it alone unless it's a 200+ psi saw. But I am an old guy.

Maaaybe..sometimes..

But dont tell anyone

 

[Lightning Performance]

People keep asking me to delete them on larger work saws. I use mine, always did always will. Under 65cc they can take a hike or not, meh. On my one 084... I'll watch you break the starter and mess up your hand

After using one on my 562, I would love to have one on my 056 mag 2 lol. Cold starts are ridiculous.
