If the engine does not start after three or four start attempts, the reason might be a floated
engine. Turn off the magnets, full throttle, choke off, crank the engine several times with the
starter for a short time.
Turn on the magnets again and now with the throttle at 1/3 open press the start button. Pull
the throttle to idle immediately after you have started the engine.
