2.
Preheat for one minute if the temperature is
55° F
or lower. If engine fails to start aftbr cranking for
one minute, preheat for one minute more and re-
attempt the start. In extreme cold temperature it
may be necessary to maintain preheating up to 2
minutes afterthe engine starts to sustain firing or
to smooth out all cylinders, especially at no load
or light loads.
