Title: Automatic decompression Post by keeef on 07/26/06 at 13:59:07 Hi Should the cable at the top of the head next to the plug move when trying to start. I'm having a bit of trouble starting my '87 Savage but can't see any movement of the decompression mechanism. Maybe a faulty solenoid?? Keeef

Title: Re: Automatic decompression Post by vroom1776 on 07/26/06 at 16:04:14 Yes it should.  When the engine is at TDC on the compression stroke, the free paly should be 3-5 mm, I believe.  Maybe you have a dead decomp. solenoid or relay, or the cable free play is wrong. V
