Operations
3. Place the throttle grip in the “START” (start) position
4.Place the choke knob in the “START” (start) position. After the engine starts, return the knob to the
“RUN” (run) position.
NOTE:
• When restarting a warm engine, place the choke knob in the ‘RUN” (run) position.
• If the choke knob is left in the “START” (start) position while the engine is running, the engine
will run poorly or stall.
5. Pull the manual starter handle slowly until you feel resistance. Then give a strong pull straight
out to start the engine. Repeat if necessary.
6. After the engine starts, slowly return the manual starter handle to the original position before
releasing it.
7. Slowly return the throttle grip to the fully closed position.
NOTE:
• When the engine is cold, it needs to be warmed up. For further information, see page 16.
• 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.
