I bought recently this FE450 2004 .
Very hard to start when hot ,also in cold condition seems much compression.
i opened the camshaft cover for inspection.
I found the play of tappets for exhaust over 1 mm play ...( yes 1 mm, right ) , The intake tappets space were around the recomandation.
I used 1/6 turn .
I ask other members here to have a look on my pictures to give a feedback about the usage of my camshaft, and the spring for decomp .
Camshaft its quite sharp on the edges but no dents..
Decomp Spring seems quite soft but i dont know the real strenght....
I also found some dent in the cover head where the valves intake and exhaust hitted sometimes , i believe its factory mistake.
i also uploaded a movie about the cam of the autodecomp spring maybe someone can understand its at the end or not..
