The engine is running properly if white smoke is emitted
through all four exhaust pipes. A slight spray of fuel will be
discharged through the exhaust pipe of any cylinder that is
not firing.
If a cylinder ceases firing, reduce the throttle setting to
approximately 1/4 open from the fully closed position and
re-connect the glowplug battery. The rpm will increase when
all cylinders are firing steadily.
A slight spray of fuel may be emitted through the exhaust
pipe if a cylinder is not firing.
