Make sure you READ the Solo engine manual regarding starting the engine and the pull rope.
English starts on page 10. Read on page 14 about the starter. Read all the pages from 10 to 18 before starting the engine.

Press the decompression valve EVERY TIME before pulling on the starter handle to make the startup process easier. The decompression valve automatically returns to the normal position after each pull. Be sure and read about the Choke in the manual.
Always pull the rope out in a straight line. Do not pull the rope all the way out – risk of rope breaking. After pulling the starter rope. Always manually guide the rope back into its start position. Do NOT let it spring back!
