2. Move engine speed control to "FAST" position and set
choke control to "FULL CHOKE" position (see equip-
ment manufacturer's instructions). See Figures 13, 15,

engine causing serious injury. To avoid this risk, carefully
follow these instructions:
3. Grasp starter cord handle. See Figure 14.
a. Pull rope out slowly until you feel drag.

CHOKE" position:
a. Momentarily move choke control back to "FULL
CHOKE" position.
b. Next, move control to "1/2 CHOKE" position until
engine runs smoothly.
c. Finally, move control to "NO CHOKE "position.
If engine dies after choke control is moved to "NO CHOKE"
position repeat steps 2 thru 5 to restart engine.
6. If engine fires but does not continue to run, move
choke control to "NO CHOKE" position and pull starter
rope again.
7. If engine fails to start after 3 attempts in the "NO
CHOKE" position, move choke control to "FULL
CHOKE" position and pull starter rope again.
8. If engine does not start after following steps 1 thru 7,
contact your Authorized Tecumseh Servicing Dealer.
