OPERATION

Starting a Warm Engine

Warm engines do not normally require the use of the choke. Excessive

use of the choke can cause the spark plug to become wet fouled.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface with the transmission in

neutral.

2. Lock the parking brake, turn the fuel tank valve to ON, sit on the

vehicle, and move the engine stop switch to RUN.

3. If the engine has cooled to a point where it does not readily start,

intermittent use of the choke button (pulled half way out) may be

necessary.

4. If the engine is over-choked when warm, depress the throttle lever

fully while cranking to aid in starting.

5. Release the throttle lever immediately after the engine starts. If the

engine does not start and all conditions are favorable, change the

spark plug and try again.
