    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.
