STARTING A FLOODED ENGINE

Flooded engines can be started by placing

the choke lever in the OFF CHOKE position;

then, pull the rope to clear the engine of ex-

cess fuel. This could require pulling the starter

handle many times depending on how badly

the unit is flooded.

If the unit still doesn’t start, refer to
