TORS
Should the engine fail to start after repeated attempts, it often is the result of engine “flooding,” i.e. too
rich a fuel/air mixture. This is often exhibited when attempting to start a hot engine. In such cases:
• Ensure choke is in the “OFF,” fully depressed position.
• Turn throttle control grip to the full “ON,” full counterclockwise position.
• Start engine.
• Do not “feather” the throttle while attempting to start the engine. Leave throttle in the wide open
position to offset the effects of “flooding.”
• Immediately upon starting, return throttle position to idle.
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO START THE ENGINE, ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS SET TO THE
NEUTRAL POSITION (THE GREEN DASH INDICATOR SHOULD BE ILLUMINATED). ATTEMPTING TO START THE
ENGINE WHILE THE TRANSMISSION IS IN A FORWARD GEAR MAY CAUSE VEHICLE MOVEMENT RESULTING
IN POSSIBLE PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR VEHICLE DAMAGE.
