How do you start a carbureted engine after running out of gas?

1. Turn the ignition off. This will help to prevent any gas from flowing into the engine.

2. Check the fuel lines. Make sure that the lines are not kinked or blocked. If they are, clear the blockage.

3. Open the fuel valve. This will allow gas to flow into the carburetor.

4. Pump the accelerator pedal a few times. This will help to mix the air and gas together.

5. Start the ignition. The engine should start after a few cranks.

If the engine does not start, you may need to:

* Prime the carburetor. To prime the carburetor, remove the air filter and pour a small amount of gas into the carburetor. Then, replace the air filter.

* Check the spark plugs. Make sure that the spark plugs are properly seated and that the spark plug wires are connected correctly.

* Check the battery. Make sure that the battery is fully charged.
