The primer lever is the piece that is attached to the fuel adjustment needle.
When set correctly, the lever pushes down the float pin, while turning the
adjustment knob counter-clockwise, forcing fuel into the carb. throat,
“priming” the engine.
To start the engine, place the magneto spark advance lever in the middle,
or a little past center, to the right, facing the engine.
Prime the motor as mentioned 5 to 10 seconds, or until you see some
gas in the carb throat. Assuming that everything is in order, it should
start after one to three pulls.
Prepare to be boarded!
