FINAL CHECK 

 
After  having  inspected  all  the  bolts,  there  is  one  final  and  extremely  important  component  to  be 
checked: the spark plug.    The spark plug is a sufficiently reliable indication of the carburation. 
 
Remove the spark plug and check the colour of the ceramic insulator at the electrode end.    If it has 
turned a mid-brown colour, the carburetor has been adjusted correctly.    Conversely, if it has turned 
black or dark brown, the fuel is too rich.    If the ceramic is a light brown or sand colour, it means the 
fuel is too lean. 
Adjust the carburetor accordingly (see ADJUSTING THE CARBURETTOR) 
 
Remember that an excessively rich blend will not cause any immediate problems to the engine except 
that carbon deposits will form prematurely. 
Too weak or lean a blend, however, may cause irreversible damage to the cylinder and piston 
 

Always use a spark plug with an adequate heat rating 

 

 

START UP PROCEDURE 

 
Press the primer bulb 3 or 4 times to induce a small amount of fuel into the carburetor when the engine 
is cold. 
Check that the throttle is in the starting position (no intake or too much intake will hinder the starter 
motor and cause problems in starting up the engine). 
Ensure the contact is on “start” and that you are able to disconnect the circuit immediately, if necessary.     

a)

 

To  start  manually:  pull  the  manual  recoil  starter  handle  slowly  until  it  begins  to  offer 
resistance, then pull hard. 

b)

 

To start electrically: following the instructions given above, press the start button until the 
engine starts (press no more than 4 to 5 times, taking care not to overheat the starter motor). 

After  starting  the  engine,  reduce  the  intake  gradually  and  disengage  the  starter  as  soon  as  possible 
(prolonged use of the starter may damage the motor). 
 
If the engine does not start, check the fit of the spark plug caps and that the switch is on “start”.    If 
nothing still happens, remove and inspect the spark plugs. 

 

If the spark plugs are damp, the engine is flooded. With the sparkplugs removed and ignition turned 
off and throttle wide open crank the engine to discharge any excess fuel. Replace the spark plugs 
after having dried it carefully and repeat the starting procedure.
