    Check header pipe and muffler, no gap, otherwise can backfire

    ----------------------------------

    Just in case you are riding it and stall it:

    Cold engine. When cold, pull the choke out, keep away from the throttle, and kick with as tall and steady a stroke as possible. We’d like Husqvarna to change the gear ratio on the idler gear to get the engine to turn over more times per kick.

    Hot engine. Starting the TC250 when hot requires pulling out the hot start button (inconveniently located on the carburetor), finding top-dead-center, nudging the kick-start slightly past compression, and then kicking slowly. Patience is a virtue, especially when starting the red hot TC250 engine.

    Foolproof method. Sit bolt upright in the saddle and have someone push you down a hill.
