Removing the decompressor is rather hard on the starter mechanism, though - they're pretty lightly built, compared to the recoil starters on the pre-Zip Start Victas.

Easy enough to overcome with a full-crank engine though - just leave the starter [or top cover, in the case of a side starter model] off, and use the leccy drill start technique! laugh

Cheers,
