Flooded Engine
If the engine won’t start after several pulls on the
starter rope, the engine may be flooded.
To clear a flooded engine:
1. Move the throttle lever to STOP and turn off the
fuel valve.
2. Remove and dry the spark plug. When remstalling
the plug, thread it in by hand until it seats. Then
tighten it an additional l/8-1)4 turn with the spark
plug wrench to compress the washer.
3. Move the throttle to HI, turn on the fuel valve
and repeat steps 3-5 under “Starting the Engine”
Stopping the Engine
1. Release the drive clutch (self-propelled type only)
and/or ROTO-STOP lever.
2. Move the throttle lever to STOP and turn off
the fuel valve.
3. Turn the engine switch to OFF (SMA type only).
