attention.
(b) If a separately mounted fuel filter is fitted loosen the two vent screws
(B) on top of the filter and keep loose until clean, bubble-free fuel leaks
out Retighten the screws.
(c) On engines not fitted with a self-bleeding fuel infection pump move the
stop/run lever (C) to the 'RUN' position, i.e . horizontal. Loosen the
vent screw (D) on the fuel injection pump and turn the engine a few
times until clean, bubble-free fuel leaks out Retighten the vent screw
(d) If a fuel feed pump is fitted fuel will not flow unless the priming lever is
operated or the engine turned.
14. To start (Figs. 3 & 4)
(a) If a water pump reservoir is fitted, ensure that it is full and the cap is on.
(b) Remove the load from the engine.
(c) Move the stop/run lever (C) to the "RUN" position, i.e., horizontal.
(d) If a variable speed control is fitted, set the control lever to the half
speed position then push down and release the overload stop lever
(E).
(e) If a two-speed control is fitted, set the control in the 'RUN' position.
(f) Rope starting
(i) Turn the starting pulley in the opposite direction to the arrow until
a resistance is felt Bounce the pulley vigorously against the
resistance until the injector has squeaked ten times. (This is
unnecessary with a warm engine)
(ii) Wind the rope round the starting pulley in the direction of rotation.
The end of the rope should be in the pulley from two to two-and-
a-half turns
WARNING-THE ROPE SHOULD NOT BEWOUND ROUND

The engine should now fire
(g) 4:1 hand starting
(i) Lift the centre boss of the starting gear
(ii) Engage the starting handle in the boss The handle will not fully
engage unless the boss has been lifted
(iii) Lift and hold the decompressor lever (A) Turn the handle slowly
and listen for the squeak of the injector.
(iv) When the injector has squeaked turn the handle as fast as
possible and release the decompressor lever. Keep turning the
starting handle. The engine should now start. The gears and
starting handle will disengage automatically as the engine
increases speed.
(h) Raised hand starting
(i) Lift the decompressor lever (A) and turn the starting handle in the
direction of rotation slowly until the injector is heard to squeak.
