Gary, just had a look at my parts book, looks like a side-saddle pony engine like on a D7...
4wheelinj1, on my 1963 977H the decompression lever is at the back of the head where that blanking plate is on yours, I can't remember now if my '64 has one or not, not that it really helps you any lol. I do have a sheet of starting instructions somewhere I put together for my dad years ago, if you want I can try to find those...
Haha oh my I can imagine how amazing that was to work on. We pulled a pony off our 7 and that was a tight fit.
and yeah I bet thats what the cover is for. Kinda makes me sad that machines have all lost their compression releases.
