6 HP ENGINES-TECUMSEH-LAUSON
Photos 4/4 and 4/5 below show a 6 HP Stand-
ard Start and a 6 HP Electric Starting engine-
both manufactured by Tecumseh Products
Company (Lauson Division). On both 6 HP en-
gines (standard or electric start), the choke is
engaged manually. You obtain high speed by
opening the throttle lever on the handlebar all
of the way (pulling toward your left). See Photo
4/6 &
417.

If you close the lever, by moving -it all the way
to your right, it will engage the engine shutoff
switch, automatically shutting off the engine.
See Photo 4/6. In between the shutoff switch
and high speed is the full range of engine op-
erations from idle (forward) to full power (back
toward you). See Photo 4/7 for illustration of the
various positions. Please make sure that you
don't operate the tiller under a load without see-
ing to it that the choke is fully open (dis-
engaged). See Photo 4/88. Failure to do so can
quickly build up deposits that are harmful to
your engine.
