Has anyone deliberately decompressed the 500 Bullet motor for easier plonking off road? My 350 has about the same flywheel as the 500 and is noticeably more compliant when engaging in low speed maneuvers. Would adding the 3mm Hitchcocks plate to the cylinder base give the same effect by reducing the effort required from the flywheel on the compression stroke? I believe I saw a 5/1 CR mentioned for a RE trials effort...?
