Yea, you need to prove you arent getting valve lift before you go tearing into it. I liked that last one, otta hear it comin past the valve.
I cant remember how long the decomp timer holds the solenoid engaged, I DO remember being surprised at what a short amount of time it was,, IIRC, it was less than 1/2 second,

p,.. you'll hear it hissing plainly with the exhaust header uninstalled, and you can even hear it at the end of the muffler if you have the whole exhaust system installed.
Yup, you only have to hold the lever down long enough for the engine to turn over only about twice,.. after that the starter motor just has to KEEP it spinning over,.. not force it up against a compression stroke with no flywheel effect.

On some of the old thumpers they had decompression lever on the handle bars, a two finger lever, cable operated, shouldn't take all that much pressure to hold that valve down for one stroke..

On my '52 AJS I had the handlebar lever shown below. My sequence was to kick to some compression, open and close the thumb lever to relieve the pressure and then kick (or bump) to start. You could not kick it over without decompression.
Maybe a vintage thumb lever would be cool on a ryca as well....

surtees, that WOULD be a cool idea,.. a truly functional retro exhaust valve lifter!
