UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS

Pull the recoil starter grip slowly
until you feel resistance, then pull
briskly.

Return the starter grip gently.

If the choke knob was pulled to
the CLOSED position to start the
engine, gradually push it to the
OPEN position as the engine
warms up.

If the recoil starter is inoperative, you
can start the engine manually using
the emergency starter rope supplied
with the tool kit.
