Guess that solves this mystery. The starting issues on this thread must be other the installation of the 650 decompressor

You are correct Dan! BOSS called monday morning and offered to install a new (non-03') decomp device. This seemed to make no difference at all. We then tried a new stator but in the process of switching, a bullitt connector from the coil easily broke so we replaced it. We did get the bike to e-start a time or two with the new stator but not consistently. We turned out the fuel screw on the dellorto and had more success. We decided to give my old stator another try but before doing so, replaced the remaining two bullitt conectors from the coil. My bike now e-starts consistently although usually with a loud
pop! Before taking it to BOSS, I had changed from a 38 pilot to a 33 but ended up with a 35 to try to get rid of the pop.
She still pops on e-start, but a pop is something I can live with. You would think the pop, or backfire, would be a lean condition. At night, the pop shows up as a 4-5" long blue flame so I'm wondering if there is possibly a rich condition as she lights off extra gas in the exhaust. I'll fiddle with the carb some more when I find time.
Not sure exactly what remedied the e-start situation.
1. Changing decomp device? (don't think so)
2. new bullitt conections?
3. leaner pilot?
4. richer setting with fuel mixture screw?
5. Husaberg Gods showing pity on my soul?
6. Combo of all above?
Going riding/camping this weekend so we'll see how she behaves!
Thanks everyone!
Thanks BOSS for your concern and help!
