Good evening-

Looking at a Stihl 044 that has a cylinder that’s been drilled for a decomp. The handle appears to be an older version with the red lever. I’ve read on here and elsewhere that some early 044’s had decomp plugs - maybe in the northwest. I read that some had a decomp before the elastostat pulley was added? Wondering if anyone has an opinion on this issue.
