Shouldn't that be a de compression valve? Should prime itself when pulling should it not?

Is there a blank plug under the cover in place of the decompression? It could be a budget thing I haven't seen any copies of Dolmar saws.

I had an old Makita 7900 (my first ‘big’ saw, did a lot of work with it, was a fantastic bit of kit) and that didn’t have a poofter switch either. You had to commit to starting it, let it know who’s boss or it would be a bit of a pig when cold...

7900 -no decomp

7901 -decompression button, and a hole in the cover to go with it.

My makita 7900 had a decomp, never wanted to start if pressed in, so you are better off without it.
