My son recently crashed his pw 50... he's ok just had a bruise, however he snapped his on off switch, I went to see my local yamaha dealer to order a new one, it had to be back ordered... they can't give me a solid answer of when it will be in, I want him to be riding now, anyone have any ideas of how i can make this thing work I would greatly appreciate the advise, thanks!

The top of my DT 175 cylinder head has a port for the spark plug going in vertically, but it also has another port going in at 45 degrees (blanked off with a bolt). The only thing I can think of is for a decompressor which if I remember rightly was to help kick over large engines, and I seem to remember as a young lad that some of the trials bikes had decompressors. So, what is that 45 degree 2nd port for, and how are decompressors used when riding trials bikes? The correct answer wins a good feeling in the pit of their stomach, haha. Doug
