or fuel which has been stored for long
periods.

fuel.
USING THE ENGINE PRIMER (A17)
FIRST START - or after running the fuel
tank dry.
Squeeze both sides of primer 15 - 20 times
in line with coloured rib (See Fig G).
COLD START - if the engine is cold and
there is fuel in the tank. Squeeze both
sides of primer 8 - 10 times in line with
coloured rib (See Fig G).
WARM START - if the engine is warm and
there is fuel in the tank - DO NOT USE
