Starting the Engine
Important:
Do not engage the starter for more than
5 seconds at a time. If the engine fails to start, wait
15 seconds between attempts. Failure to follow these
instructions can burn out the starter motor.
Note:
A warm or hot engine may not require choking.
Note:
You may need to repeat the cycle for starting the
engine when you start it for the first time after you have filled
a completely empty fuel system with fuel.
