Seems most unlikely, otherwise (a) why would Bukh fit such a device in the first place, and (b) why have I never heard of anyone suffering such an outcome, given the number of Bukhs there have been out there for many decades?
I spent years using the decompressor to stop my old magneto ignition pushrod 500cc single AJS without ill effect.
Just an attempt to reason why Bukh tell us not to do it. The decompression facility is to assist turning the engine over by hand. What is your reason for the instruction not to do it?
