NOTE
The method used for starting the engine will vary slightly depending on previous conditions of
the machine. Regardless of which of the following conditions exist, the ignition switch must
be depressed to restart the engine.
DRY START: (Applies when the machine is first placed in service; when the machine has
been allowed to run completely out of fuel; or, when the machine has not been in recent use). When
starting from the dry condition (all fuel drained, consumed or evaporated from the carburetor),
additional actuation of the priming pump will be required to move fuel from the tank to the primer
bulb.
COLD START: (Applies after the engine has been started initially; has been stopped before
running out of fuel; and has been allowed to cool). Under these conditions, very little actuation of the
priming pump is required, as some fuel will usually remain in the carburetor. One actuation of the
priming pump is usually sufficient under these conditions.
HOT START: (Applies after the engine has been started initially; has been stopped before
running out of fuel, and has not been allowed to cool before restarting). Under these conditions,
actuating the priming pump is not usually required as some fuel will usually remain in the
antechamber.
FLOODED START: (Applies after too much fuel has reached the antechamber by excessive
operation of the priming pump). See section on STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE.
