Hi Norm,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
Yes it does have a de-comp valve under the cover. I'll do what you suggest tomorrow & get back with the results.
When turning the engine over, it looks as though it has a bent crankshaft.
The owners description was it got harder & harder to start & then finally wouldn't start at all.
