If the engine is cold or the ambient temperature is low,
close the choke lever fully.
If the engine is warm or the ambient temperature is high,
open the choke lever half-way, or keep it fully open.

is the “compression” point. Return the handle to its
original position and pull swiftly. Do not pull out the rope
all the way. After starting the engine, allow the starter
handle to return to its original position while still holding
the handle. (See Fig.3 t)

the choke lever and finally keep it fully opened. Do not
fully open the choke lever immediately when the engine
