Engine

Fuel Valve Control

The  fuel  valve  opens  and  closes  the passage
between the fuel tank and the carburetor. The
fuel  valve  lever  must  be  in  the  ON  position
for the engine to run. When the engine is not
in  use,  leave  the  fuel  valve  lever  in  the  OFF
position to prevent carburetor flooding and to
reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.

Throttle Control

The  throttle  lever  controls  engine  speed.
Moving  the  throttle  lever  makes  the  engine
run faster or slower.

Engine Switch

The  engine  switch  enables  and  disables  the
ignition system. The engine switch must be in
the ON position for the engine to run. Turning

the  engine  switch  to  the  OFF  position  stops
the engine.

Choke Lever

The choke lever opens and closes the choke valve
in the carburetor. The closed position enriches the
fuel mixture for starting a cold engine.

The  open  position  provides  the  correct  fuel
mixturefor  operation  after  starting,  and  for
restarting a warm engine.

Recoil Starter Grip

Pulling  the  starter  grip  operates  the  recoil
starterto crank the engine.
