Starting the Engine

1. To start a cold engine, move the Choke to the

CHOKE position.

To restart a warm engine, leave the Choke in the

RUN position.

2. Slide the Throttle to 1/3 away from the SLOW position

(the “turtle”).

3. Turn the Engine Switch on.

4. Grip the Starter Handle of the Engine loosely and pull it

slowly several times to allow the gasoline to flow into the 

Engine’s carburetor. Then pull the Starter Handle gently until

resistance is felt. Allow Cable to retract fully and then pull it

quickly. Repeat until the engine starts.

Note: Do not let the Starter Handle snap back against the

engine. Hold it as it recoils so it doesn't hit the engine.

5. Allow the Engine to run for several seconds. Then, if the Choke lever is in

the CHOKE position, move the Choke Lever very slowly to its RUN position.

NOTE: Moving the Choke Lever too fast could stall the engine.
