plug from cylinder. Reattach the spark plug wire and
lay spark plug on top of cylinder with the metal part
of plug touching the cylinder. Pull the starter rope
and watch for spark at spark plug tip. If there is no
spark, repeat test with a new spark plug.

Push and fully release primer bulb 7 times. Pull
starter three times with choke lever at run. If engine
does not start, move choke lever to choke and re-
peat normal starting procedure. If engine still fails to
start, repeat procedure with a new spark plug.

mix that could become stale and leave varnish and
gum in the fuel system.
3. Drain all bar and chain oil from tank into a container
approved for oil.
