Honda 200s Decompression Cable Hookup?? Help!

[knowjesus]

Guys,
My 200s is in great shape but is a real pain to pull start. I'm a good size fellow and the compression is too great for me to start it in a sitting position. There is a cable/lever that goes from the Decompression lever on the engine head, but it is not hooked up anywhere. It just hangs down near the transmission. Does anyone know where this cable goes to in order for the decompression lever to work. I have tried to hold down/up the lever while pull starting but it doesn't work too good.
Thanks for the help!

I had that same problem, but i just took my parts trike decompression it was a 185 and it had the little handle to use trailprotrailpro hand on instead of a cable, i dont use it to start it but i shut it off that way since i got no electrical on it
