Beyond parts, it offers essential operating guidance: fuel mixtures (1/2 pint SAE 30/40 oil per gallon of regular gasoline), starting and stopping procedures, carburetor and magneto adjustments (breaker points at .020" gap), air cleaner and spark plug maintenance (gap at .030"), starter screen care, storage tips to prevent corrosion, and a troubleshooting checklist for issues like hard starting, missing, overheating, or knocking. Additional sections cover general service for a range of West Bend models (2700-700 series), including bore/stroke specs, governor adjustments, ignition timing tables, lubrication, and repair procedures for connecting rods, pistons, rings, cylinders, crankshafts, and reed valves.
