a
rear
door
post
just
above
window

one
at the
top

and
contact with
objects

the
freedom
to
reach
all
controls
easily.

may
be
removed
by

the
seat
belt

ENGINE.
Ordinarily
the
engine
starts
easily
with
one
or
two
strokes
of
the
primer
in
warm
temperatures
to
six
strokes
in
cold
weather
with the
throttle
open
approximately
1/2 inch.
In
extremely
cold
temperatures
it
may
be
necessary
to continue
priming
while
cranking.
Weak
inter-
mittent
firing
followed
by puffs
of
black smoke from the
exhaust
stack
indicate
overpriming
or
flooding.
Excess
fuel
can
be
cleared from
the
combustion
chambers
by
the
following
procedure:
Set the
mixture
control
full
lean
and the
throttle
full
open;
then
crank
the
engine through
several
revolutions with
the
starter.
Repeat
the
starting
procedure
without
any
additional
priming.
