- 燃料バルブを開く: If your mower has a fuel shut-off valve, open it.
- キャブレターのプライミング: Press the primer bulb (if equipped on your mower) several times until fuel is visible in the bulb or the engine shows signs of being primed.
- チョークを設定する: Move the choke lever to the 'FULL CHOKE' position for cold starts. For warm starts, the choke may not be necessary.
- エンジンを始動: Pull the starter rope firmly or engage the electric starter.
- チョークを調整します: As the engine warms up, gradually move the choke lever to the 'OFF' or 'RUN' position.
7. メンテナンス
Regular maintenance helps ensure optimal performance and longevity of your carburetor.
- 燃料品質： Always use fresh, clean gasoline. Stale or contaminated fuel is a common cause of carburetor issues. Consider using a fuel stabilizer if the mower will be stored for extended periods.
- 燃料フィルター: Inspect and replace the fuel filter regularly according to your mower's maintenance schedule. A clogged fuel filter can restrict fuel flow to the carburetor.
- エアフィルター: Keep the air filter clean. A dirty air filter can cause the engine to run rich and affect carburetor performance.

This typically involves disassembling the carburetor, cleaning jets and passages with carburetor cleaner, and replacing gaskets. This procedure should only be performed by individuals with mechanical experience.
