Yes to cable, no to hand lever.

The cable goes from the decompression valve into the top of the crank case and is linked to the kick start - ie when you kick start the bike then, if everything working as it should, the valve will open. See link below.

Thanks for your response. From that information it appears as if mine is working properly. I have not started it yet but I can tell it's working by using the kick starter

Not sure if I am posting this in the correct place but I will try it out. I have a lot of wiring issues. The top of my list is I have a black wire with a green sleeve in my headlight housing.that has 6 volts when the key is on. I can't think of a thing that should have power going it it.???????????
