6. As soon as engine sounds as if it is trying to

start, move choke lever to HALF CHOKE

position.

7. Pull starter rope sharply until engine runs,

but no more than 6 pulls.

more times. Move the choke lever to the

HALF CHOKE position and pull the start-

er rope until the engine runs, but no more

than 6 pulls. If the engine still doesn’t

start, it is probably flooded. Proceed to

conds, then move the choke lever to the

RUN position. Allow the unit to run for 30

more seconds at RUN before releasing the

throttle trigger.

ver in the RUN position, move the choke

lever to the HALF CHOKE position and

pull the rope until engine runs, but no

move the choke lever to the RUN posi-

tion.

NOTE:

If engine has not started, pull starter

rope 5 more pulls. If engine still does not run,

it is probably flooded.

STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE

Flooded engines can be started by placing

the choke lever in the RUN position; then, pull

the rope to clear the engine of excess fuel.

This could require pulling the starter handle

many times depending on how badly the unit

is flooded. If the unit still doesn’t start, refer to
