NOTE: Starting a cold engine will usually require the use of the choke/enrichener to start
the engine. The choke/enrichener is operated by pushing in on the ignition key while start-
ing the engine. It may also be helpful to prime the engine 1 to 3 times using the manual
primer knob on the outboard.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT lift fast idle lever up when starting a cold engine. Leave the
lever in the down position until the engine starts.
1. Turn ignition key to the “START” position. If the engine is cold, push “In” on key to
enrich the engine. If the engine fails to start in ten seconds, return key to “ON” position,
wait 30 seconds and try again.
2. If engine begins to stall, re-activate the choke/enrichener until engine is running
smoothly.
NOTE: Starting Flooded Engine – Lift the fast idle lever to full up. Without using the choke/
enrichener, continue to crank the engine for starting.
3. After the engine has started, slowly lift up the fast idle lever to increase idle speed until
engine is warmed up. Return fast idle lever to full down position.
NOTE: Outboards equipped with a thermostat will have a “Sporadic” tell tail water dis-
charge.
4. Immediately after the engine starts, check for water at the tell tail and at idle relief
holes. (Tell tail pressure should be per specification).
