Operation
Starting
1. Turn the engine switch to the ON position. The engine switch enables and
disables the ignition system.
OFF: To stop the engine. RUN: To run the engine.
2. The fuel valve is located between the fuel tank and the carburetor.
When the valve lever is in the ON position, fuel is allowed to flow from
the fuel tank to the carburetor. Be sure to return the fuel valve lever to
the OFF position after stopping the engine.
3. To start a cold engine, move the choke lever to the CLOSED position.
To restart a warm engine, leave the choke lever in the OPEN position.
The choke lever opens and closes the choke valve in the carburetor.
The CLOSED position enriches the fuel mixture from starting a cold engine.
The OPEN position provides the correct fuel mixture for operation after
starting, and for restarting a warm engine.
4. Operate the Recoil Starter: Turn the key to the “Run” position. Pull the
starter grip lightly until you feel resistance, then pull briskly. Return the
starter grip gently. Pulling the starter grip operates the recoil starter to
crank the engine.
ELECTRIC START. For Electric Start just turn the key to start.
NOTE: Make sure correct battery is installed.
(see battery installation for details)
5. If the choke lever has been moved to the CLOSED
position to start the engine, gradually move it to the
OPEN position as the engine warms up.
Stopping Engine
Turn the engine switch to the OFF position.
2. Turn the fuel valve lever to the OFF position.
When the engine is not in use, leave the fuel valve lever in the OFF position
to prevent carburetor flooding and to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.
