and lay the spark plug on the metal cylinder. Pull
the starter cord and watch for a spark at the spark
plug tip. If there is no spark, repeat the test with a
new spark plug.

is blocked. If the primer bulb fi lls, the engine may
be fl ooded. (See next item.)

the starter cord 3 times. If the engine does not
start, set the choke lever to
starting instructions. If the engine still fails to start,
repeat the procedure with a new spark plug.
