7.If engine fires but does NOT continue to run, move engine throttle control to “FAST” position and start engine.

8.If engine fails to start after 3 attempts in the “FAST” position, move engine throttle control to “CHOKE” position and start engine.

9.If engine does NOT start after following steps 1 thru 8, contact your Authorized TecumsehPower Servicing Dealer. DO NOT attempt to start or troubleshoot this engine in any other way.
