Default Does anyone know how the compression release works?
the hole type thing in the cylinder to ease starting....

I can understand a 4 stroke has either manual (released after starting) or auto (releases at an engine speed above cranking) but how would a 2 stroke compression release work? Surely it must have some mechanical components to stop the release of air with the engine started...
