and then give it a brisk strong pull –
simultaneously press down on the
handlebar – do not pull the starter
rope out all the way – risk of
breakage! Do not let the starter grip
snap back – guide it vertically back

of disuse, with machines without an
additional manual fuel pump, it may be
necessary to pull the starter rope several
times – to prime the fuel line.
