OPERATION
General Starting Tips
CAUTION
Only hold the start button for 2-3 seconds at a time.
Why? The injectors spray a “starting pulse” of fuel
then spray less as cranking continues. Since a cold
engine requires more fuel, repeated and shorter
cranking attempts should be used to deliver the
extra fuel needed. If you crank more than 2-3
seconds you’re wasting battery power because the
fuel spray has become too small to start the cold
engine.
•
NEUTRAL WITH PULLED-IN CLUTCH
Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL and pull-in
the clutch lever before starting. Without pulling in
the clutch, the starter working efficiency is
reduced; It doesn’t turn the crankshaft as fast and
can result in overheating and damage.
•
FULLY CHARGED BATTERY
Make sure the battery is at full charge before you
attempt to start the engine. If the battery is not at
full charge, the battery voltage can drop enough
while the starter is turning over the engine to
disengage the ECU’s power latch relay. When this
happens, the engine will turn over but not start.
•
MC1000 DO NOT OPEN THE
THROTTLE
The MC1000 engine management system utilizes
an Idle Air Control Valve located on the throttle
body to automatically control the idle air mixture
during a cold start attempt. Be sure to read the
cold start procedure.
