the cable terminal in the throttle tting.

(0.2-0.4 inch).
4) Firmly connect the two ignition wires
as shown and tuck the wire behind the

CAUTION!
■ This engine is certi ed to operate
on a 50:1 mixture consisting of un
leaded gasoline and 2-cycle mixing
oil only.
■ Some motor fuels contain alcohol
as an oxygenate! Oxygenated fuels
may cause increased operating
temperatures. Under certain
conditions, alcohol-based fuels may
also reduce the lubricating qualities
of some mixing oils.
■ Never use any fuel containing more
than 10% alcohol by volume! When
an oxygenated fuel must be used,
a fuel containing MTBE is to be
perferred over an alconol based
fuel.
