motor.
9) Immediately after the engine starts,
release the starter button to return it to
the original position.

the fully closed position so that the
engine does not stall.
CAUTION:
@
● Never push the starter button while the
engine is running.
● Do not keep the starter motor turning
for more than 5 seconds. If the starter-
motor is turned continuously for more
than 5 seconds, the battery will be
quickly discharged, thus making it
impossible to start the engine. If the
engine will not start after 5 seconds of
cranking, release your hand from the
starter button, and crank the engine
again after an interval of 10 seconds.

NOTE:
@
● When starting a cold engine, the engine
needs to be warmed up. Refer to “WARM-
ING UP ENGINE” for details.
● If the engine doesn’t 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. If the engine still fails to start, refer to
“TROUBLESHOOTING” in Chapter 5.
