Hello
I am trying to rebuild my decompression valve, I cleaned everything up and reassembled. The issue is when the valve is engaged part of the spring slides out past the clip, *see picture, the spring is new, but the old spring did the same thing, which prompted the rebuild.
Thanks for your help

You don't say which model yours is, but I have attached a couple of photos of the valve on my 1974 DT360A in case they prove useful.

It took me a while to figure it out, but a previous owner of mine had removed the nut off the end of the valve itself, but had then replaced the split pin! Is the end of your valve threaded (M5 I think) and missing a nut?

Ignore the end of the cable on mine - at some stage the nipple had sheared off and been replaced with a universal jobby. It seems to work fine.

Appears to be bent. cable hold point not aligned with slot in lever.

Quick question is there a e clip that goes between the backing plate and the spring. I don't see in any of the parts diagrams. I am starting to think my problem is that this has been monkeyed with by a previous owner.

I don't think so.

Does your valve have the M5 thread all the way down, with the hole for the split pin?

Bl**dy previous owners eh?!
