Starting the Engine (Cont’d)

5. Simultaneously press and hold down the Ignition Switch and stroke the starting

air pump at a steady speed until the engine begins to run. Continue holding

down the switch until the engine is warm and running strong.

STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE

IMPORTANT

Excessively depressing the primer bulb will “flood” the engine. Flooding means

that an excessive amount of gasoline has reached the spark plug. A flooded

engine may require several steady pumps to start. If the engine has not started

within (20) pumps, repeat steps 4 and 5.

WARNING

If flame emits from the discharge (exhaust) end of the engine tube, the

engine is flooded. FLOODING MAY RESULT IN A LOUD EXPLOSIVE

SOUND AND CAUSE SOME SMALL AMOUNT OF FLAME TO BE EMITTED

FROM THE DISCHARGE (EXHAUST) END OF THE ENGINE.

NOTE:

If the Engine does not start, and the buzzing sound emitted by the Electronic

Ignition is not heard, release the IGNITION SWITCH and proceed to the

TROUBLE SHOOTING section of this manual.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

1. Rotate the Carburetor Lever to “OFF” position.
