PRI
This indicates prime. With the fuel cock
lever in this position, the engine can be
primed. Turn the fuel cock lever to this
position when the engine has been al-
lowed to run out of fuel. This sends fuel
directly to the carburetor, which will
make starting easier. After the engine
has started, be sure to turn the lever to
ON (or RES if you have not refueled
yet).
