Starting the Engine
WARNING! |
|
Never start the engine from |
|
the operating position. |
|
. Set throttle control lever to the half |
|
open position. See Figure 3. |
|
. Press the primer bulb until fuel can be |
|
seen flowing in the transparent return |
|
tube. See Figure 4. |
|
IMPORTANT!. | Figure 3 |
The primer system only pushes fuel through the carburetor. Repeatedly press- ing the primer bulb will not flood the engine with fuel.
3.Set the choke lever to the CLOSED position if the engine is cold.
4.While holding the pump handle firmly with your left hand, use your other hand to slowly pull the recoil starter handle until resistance is felt, then pull quickly to start the engine.
CAUTION! | Figure 5 |
Do not pull the recoil starter to the end of the rope travel. Pulling the recoil starter to the end of the rope travel can damage the starter.
5.When the engine starts, slowly move the choke lever to the "OPEN" posi- tion. See Figure 7. (If the engine stops after the initial start, close the choke and restart.)
6.When the engine starts, gradually
move the throttle control lever back to | Figure 7 |
the idle position (counterclockwise). |
|

|
|
| with fuel. If flooding is suspected, move |
|
|
| the choke lever to the open position |
|
|
| and repeatedly pull the recoil starter to |
|
|
| remove excess fuel and start the engine. |
