motor is turned continuously for more
than 5 seconds, the battery will be

cranking, release your hand from the
starter button, and crank the engine
again after an interval of 10 seconds.

When starting a cold engine, the engine
needs to be warmed up. Refer to “WARM-

start after 4 or 5 tries, open the throttle a
small amount (between 1/8 and 1/4) and try
again. If the engine still fails to start, refer to
“TROUBLESHOOTING” in Chapter 5.
