Note: ............. Never use a mixing ratio less than 50:1
regardless of the oil package mixing instructions.
Ratios less than 50:1, (for example, 60:1, 80:1,
100:1), reduce the amount of lubrication to the
internal moving parts of the engine and can cause
damage.

Pump the primer bulb at the bottom of the
carburetor until fuel can be seen flowing through
the fuel return line to the fuel tank.
(Flowing fuel should be almost clear, not foamy
or full of bubbles.)
