Same for the fuel tank vent. on and sitting in the sun I turned mine and it finally hissed just off of the ON position. Drove me nutts for weeks . hard kick? I've almost broken bones if the timing isn't just right, man that thing can come back at you like a suckerpunch in a barfight. does it try to kick back?

i know about the decompression valave, what way do you adjust it?
i herd someone just took theres off?
one more stupid question
