FIRST METHOD OF STARTING ENGINE WITH MAGNETO.

First. Open the needle valve on mixer two full turns to the left, close the air damper, turn on the oil by raising up the lever on the lubricator and be sure the oil is feeding properly.

Second. Place the timing lever "J" (Figure 7) in the starting position. This retards the spark and prevents the engine from kicking back when you try to start it.

Third. Turn the fly wheels to the right until the detent blade on the governor can be pushed in behind the catch block on the cam rod and hold it there.

Fourth. Take hold of a spoke in the fly wheel and turn it around to the right rapidly five or six times and then release the detent blade but continue to turn the fly wheel until the engine starts.

Fifth. Open the air damper, change the timing lever "J" (Figure 7) to the running position and close the fuel valve slowly until the point is reached where the engine runs with the least number of explosions and without black smoke appearing at the exhaust or a popping sound at the mixer, the latter being caused by an insufficient supply of fuel, and smoke at the exhaust by too much fuel.

SECOND METHOD OF STARTING ENGINE WITH MAGNETO.

First. Open the priming cup to relieve compression and turn on the oil by raising the little lever on the top of the lubricator.

Second. Place the timing lever "J" (Figure 7) in the starting position and turn the fly wheels to the right until the igniter trips, then stop.

Third. Prime the cylinder by filling the priming cup four times with gasoline and let it run into the cylinder, then close the cup. In cold weather fill the cup eight times.

Fourth. Open needle valve on the mixer two full turns to the left, close the air damper and then turn the fly wheels to the right one-half turn or until the crank is on the outer dead center, as shown in Figure 11.

Fifth. Put tripping lever "A," which you will find with the equipment, on the magneto and cock the springs as shown in Figure 6.

Sixth. Take hold of a spoke in the fly wheel at the top with your right hand and put your right foot on a spoke at side nearest the magneto, pull with your arm and push with your foot, giving the fly wheel a quick turn back toward the cylinder, at the same time pushing down on the tripping lever "A" with your left hand, and the engine should start.

Seventh. Open the air damper on the mixer, shift the timing, lever "J" to the running position and close the fuel valve slowly until the point is reached where the engine runs with the least number of explosions, as explained above.

TO STOP THE ENGINE.

As there are no batteries used on the magneto equipped engines, you do not have to open the switch or break the circuit, just shut off the gasoline by closing the needle valve on the mixer. Turn the small lever on top of the lubricator down, which shuts off the oil, and drain the water out of the cylinder in cool or cold weather to prevent freezing.
