4. Loosen the carburetor drain screw (1).

5. Turn the engine over several times with

electric start.

6. Dry the spark plug and reinstall, or

install a new plug.

7. Tighten the carburetor drain screw.

8. Reconnect the fuel pump wires.

9. Attempt to start the engine. If necessary, repeat the drying

procedure.

10. Take the vehicle to your dealer for service as soon as possible

whether you succeed in starting it or not.

your dealer before starting the engine.
