Some help before I start this engine I bought and blow it up. On the control box is a lever that lifts up, a choke on ignition key switch that is pushed in with the key and a knob below the ignition key. What is the lift up lever for if the choke is on the ignition key switch? What is the knob for? Is there anything I should spray into the cylinders or do to the carbs before I start the engine?<br />Thanks Wish I had an owners manual!

The lift up lever is a fast idle control.<br />Choke is just that ... fuel enrichment.<br />Knob is probably just a cover for the socket where you can connect a tach,as well as obtain battery positive and negetive for light duty use.(under 5 AMP ?)<br /><br />DHP

Knob could be the friction adjustment for the control lever.

Good point! I forgot they were there.If it's a knob it's throttle friction.If it's round and rubber probably the cover I had in mind.<br /><br />DHP

Thanks, but what would be the starting procedure. Do I lift the lever and push in the choke or Vice a Versa?

First make sure the fuel primer bulb has been pumped<br /><br /><br /> Then pull the fast idle lever all the way up. " I personally only pull it about 3/4 of the way up."<br /><br /> Then push the key in for the choke and crank it over.<br /><br /> It should fire up fairly quickly. <br /><br /> After about 10 seconds I usually push the warm up lever down to about half way.<br /><br /> In thirty seconds, Im down to normal idle and on my way.
