Shut the gas off on the pony and idle it until it runs out of gas to shut it off after starting the main. The mag switch should only be used in emergencies. If not the crank will soon be out of your pony. The pony only holds a little over a quart of oil and soon becomes diluted with gas caused by the juggling needle valve in the pony carb. Standard paragraph in every operators manual for all pony start machines. I would be careful on use until I acquired manuals and took time to read them.
Good info but that pony actually holds 2-quarts oil.
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
