recoil starter handle with one hand and grasp tiller 
handle with other hand. Pull rope out slowly until

pull slightly harder at this point).

Pull recoil starter handle quickly. Do not let starter
handle snap back against starter. Repeat if necessary.
•
If engine fires but does not start, move choke control to
half choke position. Pull recoil starter handle until 
engine starts.
•
When engine starts, slowly move choke control to
“RUN” position as engine warms up.
