Choke Control
The choke control is found on the rear of the engine and
is activated by rotating the knob clockwise. Activating the
choke control closes the choke plate on the carburetor
and aids in starting the engine.
Throttle Control
The throttle control is located on the
engine. It regulates the speed of the
engine and will shut off the engine when
pushed down completely.
Primer
Depressing the primer forces fuel directly
into the engine’s carburetor to aid in
cold-weather starting.
Oil Fill
Engine oil level can be checked and oil
added through the oil fill.
