way and apply the choke. Pull the starter rope sharply

choke and adjust the throttle as necessary to keep it
running. Allow the engine to warm up for a few
minutes before placing it under the load. If the engine
doesn't start after (3) pulls, open choke slightly to
prevent flooding. Always operate the engine at full
throttle when under load.

the way if it has been shut off. Open the throttle
approximately half way. Do not apply the choke. Pull
