Abstract
A decompression apparatus for an internal combustion engine includes an adjustable eccentric decompression cam which pivotally supports a rocker arm which controls a valve. A switching member supported on and operable by the rocker arm during decompression causes the cam to move in progressive steps from a decompression position to a non-decompression position. The switching member is moved to an operative position at the start of decompression by one of two projections provided on the cam, and as the cam moves into its non-decompression position the other of the projections thereon moves the switching member to a non-operative position. A locking mechanism releasably holds the switching member in its non-operative position.
