Operation

TIP:
It is not necessary to use the choke when
starting a warm engine.
If the choke knob is left in the start position
while the engine is running, the engine will
run poorly or stall.
4.
Pull the manual starter handle slowly un-
til you feel resistance. Then give a strong
pull straight out to start the engine. Re-
peat if necessary.
5.
After the engine starts, slowly return the
manual starter handle to the original po-
sition before releasing it.
6.
Place the throttle control lever slowly to
the fully closed position.
TIP:
When the engine is cold, it needs to be
warmed up. For further information, see
page 26.
If the engine does not start on the first try,
repeat the procedure. If the engine fails to
start after 4 or 5 tries, open the throttle a
small amount (between 1/8 and 1/4) and try
again. Also if the engine is warm and fails to
start, open the throttle a same amount and
try to start the engine again. If the engine
still fails to start, see page 43.

Cooling water
Check for a steady flow of water from the
cooling water pilot hole. A continuous flow of
water from the pilot hole indicates that the
water pump is pumping water through the
cooling water passages. If the cooling water
passages are frozen, it may take a while for
water to start flowing out of the pilot hole.
NOTICE
ECM01811
If water is not flowing out of the pilot hole
at all times while the engine is running,
overheating and serious damage could
occur. Stop the engine and check whether
