Just rebuilt a saw that has high compression, and it's kicking off the decompression release before it even gets a chance to fire. Anyone else experience this problem?
 
I had this happen when using a cheap AM decomp. But after around 190psi decomp doesnt do much anyways.
 
.. decomp doesnt do much anyways.

...except make saws impossible to start.

Decomp on my 361 made me take it to the shop TWICE b/c it wouldn't start.
Got to the shop, the mechanic pulled on the rope and off she went.
I've never used a decomp since, and never had a lick of trouble, either, knock wood. Decomps are worthless IMHO.

How does this make the saw impossible to start?
