For hi qual version: www.youtube.com Here's how we achieve one-pull snow blower starting. Bought a model with an engine that has a primer button. Kept the machine in a heated garage. Comfortably checked oil and tire pressure there. Uneven tire pressure can cause the machine to pull to one side. We do NOT start it there. Now its time to get ugly. We wear old clothes. Put in ear plugs. Roll it out into the cold cruel world and close the door. ALWAYS store the gas outside. Yes it is be cold - that is why the primer button is needed. We fill the gas tank before opening the gas tap below the tank. The gas acts as lubrication for the seats/seals on the tap. We make sure the gas tank is venting properly to prevent suction lock. This one needs a notched washer under the cap. Then we urn the ignition switch to on, place the throttle lever to top speed, set the choke lever to full choke, and press the primer button 2-4 times. Usuall hear a slight gurgle of gas, but sometimes it takes a few minutes for gas to percolate fully into the fuel system. Then we sllowly on the manual recoil starter handle to take out the slack and turn the engine over to the compression stroke. The resistance increases as it gets there. We let the recoil started gather in the cord and then pull it quickly. Upon the engine starting, we quickly open the choke and bring back the throttle to a fast idle. We then it run for at least 10 minutes before commencing operation (another coming video on that). This 13 ...
