engine will not start after 5 seconds
of cranking, return the main switch
to “ ” (on), wait 10 seconds, then
crank the engine again. [ECM00192]
TIP:
When the engine is cold, it needs to
be warmed up. For further information,
see page 54.
If the engine is warm and fails to
start, open the throttle slightly and try to
start the engine again. If the engine still
fails to start, see page 86.

Cooling water
Check for a steady flow of water from the
cooling water pilot hole. A continuous flow
of water from the pilot hole indicates that
the water pump is pumping water through
the cooling water passages. If the cooling
water passages are frozen, it may take a
while for water to start flowing out of the
pilot hole.
ECM01810
NOTICE
If water is not flowing out of the pilot
hole at all times while the engine is
running, overheating and serious
damage could occur. Stop the engine
and check wheth- er the cooling water
inlet on the lower case or the cooling
water pilot hole is blocked. Consult your
Hidea dealer if the problem cannot be
located and cor- rected.
