      If your Power Fist Inverter engine will not start, shuts down, or runs rough, try the following: * If the engine is cold, move the 3-in-1 start switch to CHOKE until warm, then to RUN. * If the 3-in-1 switch is OFF, turn it to CHOKE and pull the recoil starter. * Check and fill the engine oil to the proper level. * Refuel the engine. * Drain any bad fuel from the tank and carburetor and refuel with fresh gasoline. * Inspect, gap, or replace the spark plug. * If the engine is flooded, move the choke to the RUN position. * Clean the spark plug, check the electrode spacing, and ensure the spark lead is connected.
