thoroughly. Pull the recoil starter several times to release
the unburnt gas from the cylinder before testing.

and spark plug.
3) Pull the recoil starter several times to release the unburnt

spark plug against the cylinder head cover and pull the
recoil starter to check whether sparks jump across the
electrodes.
