Starting the engine-
After completing the start checklist you are ready to start and warm up the engine. With the engine in
neutral First push in the Throttle Only switch, throttle up slightly and push the start button. Once
running, bring the engine back to neutral position and the Throttle Only button will pop out allowing
you access to gears.
If the engine doesn’t start
:
Go back through checklist to problem solve. Sometimes the fuel line is not fully attached, the run
switch is off, or the vent is not open enough.
If the engine electric start doesn’t respond at all,
double check that gear shift handle is in the neutral notch just offset towards Reverse.
Repeat earlier steps to try again.
Once running, make sure there is water running out the back indicating cooling. Allow the engine to
run at low RPMs until it starts to speed up. Then push in the choke until the engine is running
smoothly. To achieve full throttle range the choke typically has to be completely pushed in once the
engine is warmed up.
