Like the thread header says; (if lever is moved upward while engine is running it will make a clacking noise and will kill the engine.)
he said when I pull it it slows down.
Yeah had a old 175cc Yamaha Enduro that had 2 threaded holes in the top of the head, one was for spark plug the other a compression release could be fitted there. Some older bikes had to have a compression release just to start them.Knew a boy that had an old Yamaha on off road bike, he said the compression release was a jake brake. When I told him what it was he said when I pull it it slows down.:laughing:
How does a diesel start without compression? Or do they do something like leave one cyl at full compression?Here is a guess as to why it is there. I had a 3 cylinder marine diesel that that a hand crank for emergencies. If you ever tried to crank a high compression diesel by hand, you'd know why a compression release is needed. Daedong (spelling?) makes diesels for a lot of applications. Maybe small marine engines is one of them. If so, it is easier to just not connect it in tractor use rather than have a separate version of the engine.
