CABLE,VALVE LIFTER 48-59
A valve lifter cable for 1948-59 machines, letting the rider hand-decompress the engine; also listed as MC-112.

A valve lifter cable runs from the handlebar-mounted lever down to the valve lifter mechanism at the cylinder head, letting the rider decompress the engine by hand for easier kickstarting or for stopping the motor without using the ignition. It's a simple mechanical cable, not an electrical part, and not something tied to the ignition or carburetion systems despite living in that general area of the engine.
