•
The fuel system must be primed before attempting to restart the
engine. See your engine operator’s manual for instructions on priming
the engine.
•
Use caution not to overheat and damage the starter by cranking the
engine for an excessive period of time. You may need to crank the
engine for a longer time than normal. If the engine fails to start in
30 seconds, turn the ignition to the off position and wait for
two minutes before cranking the engine again.
•
Any remaining trapped air self-purges from the fuel system once the
engine starts running.
•
The engine may run rough and produce white smoke while air is in
the fuel system. This is normal and should stop after a short period of
time.
