When pulling starter rope, the rope
can unexpectedly jerk back toward
engine causing serious injury. To avoid this risk, carefully
follow these instructions:
7. Grasp starter cord handle. See Figure 29.
a. Pull rope out slowly until you feel drag.
b. Without allowing the rope to retract, continue pulling
rope with one rapid full arm stroke.
c. Return rope slowly to original position.
NOTES
Following the instructions listed in the steps above avoids
potential damage to the recoil mechanism.
If recoil starter handle is frozen and will not operate engine,
proceed as follows:
a. Pull as much rope out of starter as possible.
b. Release starter handle and let it snap back against
starter to break up ice; these two steps should ONLY
be done WHEN STARTER IS FROZEN.
If engine fails to start after 3 attempts repeat steps 2 thru 7
and try again.
8. When engine starts:
a. Momentarily move choke control to “1/2 CHOKE”
position until engine runs smoothly. See Figure 24
on page 12. Afterward, continue reading instructions
below.
b. Next, move choke control to “NO CHOKE” position.
c. Finally, move engine speed control to desired speed
in “RUN” range. See Figures 26 and 27 on page 13.
Afterward, continue reading instructions below.
NOTES
If engine starts but falters when choke control is moved to
“NO CHOKE” position:
a. Momentarily move choke control back to “FULL
CHOKE” position.
b. Next, move choke control to “1/2 CHOKE” position
until engine runs smoothly.
c. Finally, move choke control to “NO CHOKE”
position.
If engine dies after choke control is moved to “NO CHOKE”
position repeat steps 2 thru 8 to restart engine.
9. If engine fires but does not continue to run, move
choke control to “NO CHOKE” position and start
engine. See Figure 24 on page 12. Afterward, continue
reading instructions below.
10. If engine fails to start after 3 attempts in the “NO
CHOKE” position, move choke control to “FULL
CHOKE” position and start engine.
11. If engine does not start after following steps 1 thru 10,
contact your Authorized TecumsehPower Servicing
Dealer. DO NOT attempt to start or troubleshoot this
engine in any other way.
