Step 2: Turn it away from “stop” and move the choke lever to the “cold start” position.
Step 3: You’ll have to pump gasoline into the engine with a purge bulb, so pump gasoline until you see it flowing in the fuel tank line.
Step 4: While the machine is lying on the flat surface, hold the throttle handle securely and push the trigger to its full extent.
Step 5: Next, haul the recoil starter rope gently until the engine starts. Note that the engine doesn’t start instantly and may take a few tries to fire up.
Step 6: Once the engine starts, turn the choke lever to the “run” option and press the throttle handle to an open position by holding it firmly.
Step 7: As soon as the engine starts running smoothly, let go of the throttle trigger and allow it to warm up for a few minutes.
Step 8: Once the engine warms up, grasp the support handle and the throttle and depress it slowly, surging the engine RPM to operating speed.
