Has anyone installed a decompression valve on a non decompression saw? I would like to install one on my Husky 55 Rancher. I like the one on my Pro Mac 650. It makes it so easy to pull start. Maybe I should have just bought a bigger saw with one already installed on it.

The Husky guys are gonna flame me for this but, go to a Stihl dealer and get an Elasto-start. As easy as changing a pull cord.

Is that the new pull rope that I have heard so much about? I guess that would be a breeze to install also. Any idea as to how much they cost? Thanks

Less than $20. You can take a black magic marker and color over the little Stihl logo on it. Will make the saw easier to start (less operator fatigue)
You gotta love you guys here
That is so funny. My title above says it all. I'm off to see my Stihl dealer Hi ho, Hi ho.

Yep ! My exact thought also.
An additional benefit also is that being easier to start with the Elasto-Start handle those husky levers that keep breaking and falling off will last at least twice as long after.

There are a few different sizes of the elasto start system. They make it for everything from string trimmers to MS-880's. The one Baileys sells is for saws in the 70cc and up range, too big imho for a 50cc saw. The rope matches the engine size. On the smaller models you can just pull the rope out ant tie a knot so it doesn't wind back in, then change just the handle parts and let loose your knot. Should take less than 5 minutes and require almost no tools.
Baileys-online.com uses framesets with their online sales site, so you never do get to see in the location bar the actual URL of the page you're viewing. Whenever I arrive at such a site, I right-click on the body of the document and select "open frame in this window". Doing so at that link above yields something likeMadsaw said:

When following links within <i>that</i> page, you'll always see where you are in the site hierarchy. You could then post a link directly to the actual item such as replacement starter rope/handle for Stihl.
