moving the clutch lever forward.
Pull the engine brake handle against the upper handlebar
with your left hand.
Grip the starter handle, slowly pull out the cord with your right
hand until you feel some resistance (the starter pawls grip),
now quickly and powerfully pull the cord.
Never twist the starter cord around your hand.
Disengage the choke position with the throttle control when
the engine is warm.
CAUTION! Do not pull the starter cord all the way out and do
not let go of the starter handle when the cord is fully extended.
This can damage the machine.
