(D) provides initial fuel to help start a cold engine.
Normally, pressing the primer button twice will pro-
vide enough fuel to start a cold engine.
E. Throttle Lever - The throttle lever (E) controls the
engine speed. For best overall performance, the
throttle lever should be set to the FAST position. Use
the SLOW position only for warming the engine, or to
help prevent snow/ice freeze-up when shutting the
unit down for the day.

air/fuel mix.
