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.
