•When the accumulator chamber is full, fuel is injected into the carburetor manifold to provide a rich mixture for starting.

Excess fuel escapes through a drain to prevent the engine from flooding if the injector button is pressed too many times. As a result, a few drops of fuel may appear on the ground during the starting procedure.

The number of injections required will depend on temperature conditions and the time elapsed since the engine was last started.
