3
Pull the recoil cord slowly until
resistance is felt and then pull rapidly.
4
Do not over-choke. As soon as engine
starts, move the choke to the “RUN”
position over a 2–5 second duration.
NOTE:
Keep choke in “CHOKE” position for only 1 pull of the recoil cord. After first pull, move choke to
“RUN” position for up to 3 pulls of the recoil cord. Too much choke leads to spark plug fouling/engine
flooding due to lack of incoming air. This will cause the engine to fail to start.
NOTE:
For gas starting in cold ambient temperature < 59°F (15°C),
the choke must be in 100% of
the “CHOKE” position for manual start procedures. Do not over-choke. As soon as engine starts,
gradually move the choke lever to the “RUN” position over a 2–5 second duration.
NOTE:
For gasoline restarts with hot engine in hot ambient > 86°F (30°C),
keep choke in 75% of the
“CHOKE” position for only 1 pull of the recoil cord. After first pull, move choke to “RUN” position for
up to 3 pulls of the recoil cord. Too much choke leads to spark plug fouling/engine flooding due to
lack of incoming air. This will cause the engine to fail to start.
