cylinder, thus impeding combustion), proceed according to either one of following methods:
- Push-start the scooter (engage second gear; depress the clutch and push the machine to a
certain speed; quickly release clutch lever and pull it back as soon as the engine fires); or
- Close the fuel tap, remove spark plug and action the engine by means of the kick-starter;
wipe the plug dry and screw it back; open the fuel tap and depress the starting lever.
Exercise care re-assembling the spark plug: start screwing it by hand at the proper
angle to avoid damaging the cylinder; and use the box wrench just for the last turns.
