4. Pull out / turn the choke knob fully. After
the engine starts, replace / return the
knob to the home position.
NOTE:
It is not necessary to use the choke when
starting a warm engine.
If the choke knob is left in the “” (start)
position while the engine is running, the en-
gine will run poorly or stall.
5. Pull the manual starter handle slowly until
you feel resistance. Then give a strong
pull straight out to crank and start the en-
gine. Repeat if necessary.
6. After the engine starts, slowly return the
manual starter handle to its original posi-
tion before releasing it.
7. Slowly return the throttle grip to the fully
closed position.
NOTE:
When the engine is cold, it needs to be
warmed up. For further information, see
page 32.
If the engine does not start on the first try,
repeat the procedure. If the engine fails to
start after 4 or 5 tries, open the throttle a
small amount (between 1/8 and 1/4) and try
again. Also if the engine is warm and fails to
start, open the throttle a same amount and
try to start the engine again. If the engine
still fails to start, see page 66.
