STARTING A WARM ENGINE

position.

gine runs smoothly.
S Pull starter rope sharply until engine runs,
but no more than 5 pulls.
S Allow engine to run 15 seconds, then move
the choke lever to the OFF CHOKE position.
NOTE: If engine has not started, pull starter

STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE
Flooded engines can be started by placing
the choke lever in the OFF CHOKE position;
then, pull the rope to clear the engine of ex-
cess fuel. This could require pulling the starter
handle many times depending on how badly
the unit is flooded.
If the unit still doesn’t start, refer to
