I may give that spring idea a try. I'm kind of surprised with all of these "it wont start" threads that there's not more people talking about the decomp system.
Yes, .and having them work against the Solenoid more effectively will ensure they are the most freely moving.
When the system is in top Condition, the Solenoid has MORE THAN enough power to pull the Decomp Levers when operating,.... even after "Strengthening" their Springs. This is about making sure that the Levers have the best possible chance for Fullest Total Movement Quickly in operation.
The Cables/Levers might be restricting the Solenoids movements,....so this "Tune Up" measure I suggested "flexes" the entire Cable/Lever System so as make as sure as possible the freest most total movements.
Add to this,.... do check and clean your Solenoid for Freest/Fullest movements. It doesn't take much Dirt to Slow/ Restrict it.

I'm also seeing a lot of guys with the LC 1500's talk about doing the LC shuffle where when the bike won't turn over you put it in gear and roll backwards to decompress the engine. Gonna have to test this and maybe remove the decomp system all together if possible and start another thread!
I fixed one of my Riding Buddies 1500 which would not turn over once in a while when we were Riding. Turns out there was an intermittent "Hang Up" with the Solenoid that a good Cleaning and "Polishing" of the Solenoid Piston/Bore fixed,....that, along with a good Cleaning/Graphite Lubing of the somewhat Dirty Cables. After giving it the Return Spring Tune up",...all has been well of several years now.
