THROTTLE
LEVER
The throttle lever is used to select the
desired engine speed and to stop the
engine. To stop engine, move the
throttle lever to the STOP position.
PRIMER BULB
The PRIMER BULB removes
air from
the carburetor
and fuel lines and fills
them with fuel, This allows you to start
the engine with fewer pulls on the
starter rope. Activate the primer bulb
by pressing
it and allowing
it to return
to its original form.
CHOKE LEVER
The CHOKE helps to supply fuel to the
engine to aid in cold starting,
The
CHOKE OFF position is used for full
speed operation.
The 1/2 position is
used for a brief initial warm-up
period
and to set the engine at idle speed.
