AIR COOLED ENGINE
The L-N engine is air-cooled by means of a
cooling fan. The cooling system consists of a fan
attached to the flywheel.
CONTROLS - RECOIL
STARTER
The L-N Series engines are equipped with a
recoil or electric starter. This section explains the
controls available with the recoil starter.
Recoil Starter
A recoil starter allows you to manually start an
engine by pulling on the recoil starter handle
(Figure 3, (1))
. When you pull on the handle you
set the flywheel and crankshaft in motion. The
recoil starter is spring loaded so the handle and
attached cable automatically return to the recoil
starter assembly.
Figure 3
Decompression Lever
The decompression lever
(Figure 4, (1))
helps
you start the engine by reducing the effort
needed to pull the recoil starter handle. The
decompression lever will automatically return to
the original position when the engine starts.
Some L-N model engines have an automatic,
internal compression release mechanism and do
not have the external compression release lever.
Refer to the specific instructions for your driven
machine.
