. . . That shit's Nasty.
Even though those Victas were australian they were keen to work ... so partial compression was enough for them to start and once running the small volume on one side of the diaphragm had its pressure drawn down by the vacuum line going to the downstream side of its (quite small) carb
The girlfriend has offered to start the lawnmower here but i don't know how to work the video recorder ... sorry mankind
The valve is tiny, so if you turn over the motor fast enough (like when you kickstart a dirt bike) all the air in the cylinder can't get out of the cylinder before it sparks. So it does have some compression but more like if you left out the compression ring when rebuilding a motor. It makes starting big bore 2 strokes easy.

I've got a 500 Maico Enduro in the workshop. The decompressor for those is a manual valve about 1/2 way up the back wall of the cylinder, rather than in the head.
So it's more like starting a 300 rather than the full 490cc. Once started, it will run happily, but noisily, with the valve held open.
Thank all peoples for decompresion valve ideas!!!
I own 8 CNC machines and will try make automatic decompression valve.
For me easier make than buy.
