has been changed, it may be necessary to bleed the air
from the fuel lines.
1 Replenish the fuel reservoir (tank) with a minimum
of 10 gallons (45 liters) of fuel.
2 Make sure the fuel line shut off petcock is fully
open. (fig. C5186)

between starting attempts for 1 (one) minute.

start, proceed to step 7.) Allow the engine to operate at
an idle speed for 5 minutes. Shut off the engine.
