Starting the engine

This model is fitted with a semiautomatic decompression valve

(1) to make starting easier. Depressing it reduces the force

needed for compression, so little force is needed to accelerate

the engine to its starting speed.
The high pressure in the combustion chamber after the first

ignition automatically closes the decompression valve (button

pops out).
