Aye David,
3 images of the de-compressor set up on my 1974 450 MKIII. I am the 2nd owner from new, having owned the machine since 1976 and at the cylinder head nothing has been modified. The operating cable is home made. Whilst the lever on the clip-on is a modern motoX decompression pattern lever. Beware! Many of the 'Classic', ball end pattern levers do not have a sufficient throw to enable the de-compressor to be fully activated! And they are more expensive!
Hope this helps with your rebuild, Bill
