Good place to start. If it takes more than a couple turns to start, it's too tight. If it stalls when starting, then it's too loose.

So, for the 1st 1/2 second of rotation, the decomp (decompression) solenoid opens the exhaust valve.

It electronically holds open your exhaust valve to prevent that big piston from producing too much compression for the starter to overcome...
It gives the starter motor a running start at turning over the engine...

Versy beat me again...
Funny how differently we explain the same thing...

How 'bout this explanation?...
Ever try to blow your nose when it's completely plugged?... and instead of getting anywhere,... your ears pop...
That's your engine without a decomp...

Ludicrous Speed !... ... Huh
