3-3
IF ENGINE DOES NOT START
Do not operate starter motor for more than
15 seconds without a 2 (two) minute
cool-down period. Excessively long cranking
times will permanently damage the starter
motor and drain the battery. Damage from
overheating the starter motor is not covered
by the warranty.
Turn the key to the START position. If the engine does
not start, let the starter cool down for two minutes,
disengage the shift interlock and advance the throttle
lever about 1/4 of its total travel. Turn the key to START
again and see if the engine starts.
If your engine does not start after several attempts, it
may have too much fuel and needs to be cleared.
HOW TO CLEAR THE ENGINE
1. Check throttle lever (2, Figure 3-3) to make sure it is
pulled out (or shift interlock button, 1, activated) so
that boat is still in NEUTRAL.
2. Wait for 2 minutes to allow starter motor to cool.
