Ok I had a problem getting my bike fired the other day. After changing the plud and making sure it had spark and fuel I noticed it didnt even feel like it was trying to start (you now you can tell how it makes certain sounds when it is firing and when it isn't).

After a few minutes I kinda stopped being so frustrated and started to look at the bike and think about it I noticed that my decompression valve was kinda stuck open. I reached down on the bike and the spring was there but it was stuck open.

I pushed it back down and the motor fired right back up.

So... I am thinking the cable is just sticky.... can you lube these cables or do I have to replace them?

Thanks in advance for all the help guys...

Compression Cable sticking

Thanks Joe, didn't know they were that cheap... I may just run try to replace the cable then.

Thanks
