CARBURETOR
The carburetor
is
a single barrel, down-draft type with a
cleanable metal screen air intake.
The choke is operated by a 12V
DC
current. After the engine
starts (cold start), the choke circuit is kept activated opening
the choke. This helps prevent stalling on a cold start. The
circuit remains active until shutdown.
Air
Screen/Flame
Arrester
The air screen/flame arrester can easily be removed by
releasing the hold-down clamp. Clean after the first
50 hours
of
operation, every 100 hours from then on. Clean the air
screen in kerosene and blow dry with
air.
