Decompression

   / Decompression #11  
I'm 90% certain that the thermostart is in the intake manifold, not the cylinder, so I don't see how pulling the decompression handle would affect anything. I only use it for bleeding the fuel system and building oil pressure before starting.

Well if that's true, then you're probably right. I'll go see if I can find that paragraph in my manual.

Cord, I'm 100% sure, just take off the air cleaner and use it and you can see it in operation. The decompression lever is just for starting in cold weather. I used it anytime I started the first time, cold or not, as then you have the oil pressure up and don't have a dry start. The John Deere I have now, don't have that feature, I kind of miss it, but don't need it as it starts fine, without it. But then again mine has glow plugs, where as my Yanmar didn't.
