PART II - OPERATION

SECTION 12 - HARD STARTING

An engine in good condition should start promptly regardless of the air temperature, providing the above instructions are carefully followed. If the engine has been considerable service and has gradually become harder to start, see Section 1, Part IV - TOP OVERHAUL. See also Section 3-P-3, Part V - COMPLETE OVERHAUL, for instructions on how to check the impulse coupling. If the pawl carrier in the impulse is badly worn, the spark will be automatically retarded at very low engine speed, such as occurs when starting the engine, with the result that the engine will be hard to start.
