PRIMER BULB The PRIMER BULB removes air from the carburetor and fuel lines and fills them with fuel. This allows you to start the engine with fewer pulls on the starter rope handle. Activate primer bulb by pressing it and allowing it to return to its original position. CHOKE LEVER The CHOKE helps to supply fuel to the engine to aid in cold starting. Activate the choke by moving the choke lever to the FULL CHOKE (closed) position. After engine attempts to start, move the choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position. Once engine starts, move choke lever to the OFF CHOKE (opened) position.
