      STARTING ENGINE.
            Ordinarily the engine starts easily with one or two strokes of the
      primer in warm temperatures to six strokes in cold weather with the
      throttle open approximately 1/2 inch. In extremely cold temperatures
      it may be necessary to continue priming while cranking. Weak inter
      mittent explosions followed by puffs of black smoke from the exhaust
      stack indicate overpriming or flooding. Excess fuel can be cleared
      from the combustion chambers by the following procedure: Set the mix
      hire control full lean and the throttie full open; then crank the engine through
      several revolutions with the starter. Repeat the starting procedure
      without any additional priming.
