ing system is disengaged;

1÷2 cm³ of oil through its hole (larger amounts are dangerous for the engine itself).
Operate the starter button 1-2 times for roughly 1 second to turn the engine over
slowly, then insert the spark plug again;

keep the wheels lifted above the ground by resting the chassis on two wooden wedges;
