event of an ignition system malfunction,
the engine speed may become erratic or
the engine may stop. In such a case, dis-
connect the connection on the yellow
cord (emergency circuit) to return to port.
w
When the connection is disconnected, the
idling and low speeds are slightly higher
than normal. Use care when starting off
or stopping.

COLD ENGINE FAILS TO START
If a cold engine fails to start for prime
start model, use the following procedure.
w
When starting or operating the engine,
do not touch the ignition coil, high volt-
age wire, spark plug cap or other electri-
cal parts carrying high voltage. Keep
loose clothing and other objects away
from the engine when starting it with an
emergency starter rope. An unguarded
rotating flywheel is very dangerous. Do
not attempt to replace the top cowling

splashing onto the flywheel.
