If the engine fails to start after repeated attempts, it may be flooded with
excess fuel. To clear a flooded engine:
Push the choke knob down all the way to fully OFF.
Open the throttle fully.
If the engine starts, quickly close the throttle, then, if idling is
unstable, open it slightly.
If the engine does not start, wait 10 seconds, then follow the
procedure (page ).
If the engine still won’t start, refer to
page .
You can restart the engine while the vehicle is stopped by squeezing the
front brake lever and pressing the start button.
Do not press the throttle lever while starting in gear. Your ATV is
equipped with a start inhibitor system that will cut off the ignition if the
throttle is open while attempting to start in gear.
Once you have started the engine, release the front brake lever, then
apply throttle gradually.
Leave the engine stop switch set to RUN ( ).
Press the start button for 5 seconds (or operate the recoil starter
several times).
